serial ports..the only thing youd use em for nowadays is maybe for a UPS for back up power etc. usually now they put firewire or more usv ports there..but if not they just put serial ports. (com ports)

My emachines does not have those :-) lol thats why its going bye bye when I am done with this new machine!...so those are not for monitor hookup correct?
no..they are the opposite of what u need for monitor hookup....back in the day there were used for mouse ports....that was before the current "PS2" mouse ports came along.
You might also use them nowadays for external dialup modems

In the lower left corner you can see the difference between a com port and a video port. Under the purple parallel port is a black com (serial) port and a blue video port. Notice that the serial port has 2 rows of male pins. The video port has 3 rows of female pins.
