If your laptop is new enough then the pcmcia slots you are using are actually 32bit (aka pci) slots. If you plug a normal PC Card into the pcmcia slot only 16bit's of that 32bit bus is used. Cardbus cards look identical apart from the gold strip they have on the top side of the card near the connector.
Cardbus cards are more expensive however they usually release some of the CPU (as data can be moved faster) and you can get good cardbus cards that actually send at 100Mb/s. Alex
