PCI and PCI-Express cards
Note: this list is still incomplete as not all drivers have information
Form factors
There are various form factors for PCI/PCI-E cards:
- Cardbus
also called PC Card, this is a form factor similiar to PCMCIA. Wikipedia has an image.
- PCI
A regular PCI card, again you can find an image on Wikipedia.
- Mini-PCI
- A card typically used in laptops until maybe 2007 or so. PCI-E: PCI Express, pretty much the successor to PCI, actually having a completely different BUS.
- Mini-PCI-E
mini-PCI express, the PCI Express equivalent of Mini-PCI, but even smaller. Wikipedia has an image of this too.
- ExpressCard
The hot-pluggable version of PCI Express. Note that ExpressCards can be USB as well, in which case they won't be listed here.
