+ | There are various form factors for PCI/PCI-E cards: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ; Cardbus : | ||
+ | also called **PC Card**, this is a form factor similiar to PCMCIA. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Card|Wikipedia has an image]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ; PCI : | ||
+ | A regular PCI card, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_PCI#Conventional_hardware_specifications|again you can find an image on Wikipedia]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ; Mini-PCI : A card typically used in laptops until maybe 2007 or so. | ||
+ | ; PCI Express : pretty much the successor to PCI, actually having a completely different bus architecture. | ||
+ | ; Mini-PCI-E : | ||
+ | mini-PCI express, the PCI Express equivalent of Mini-PCI, but even smaller. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_Mini_Card|Wikipedia has an image of this too]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ; ExpressCard : | ||
