	ExpressCard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ExpressCard supports two form factors, ExpressCard/34 (34 mm wide) and ExpressCard/54 (54 mm wide, in an L-shape) — the connector is the same width (34 mm) on both.
		The major benefit of ExpressCard technology over the previous PCMCIA CardBus PC card is a dramatic increase in bandwidth, afforded by the fact that the ExpressCard has a direct connection to the system bus over a PCI Express x1 lane or USB 2.0, whereas CardBus utilizes an interface controller that only interfaces with PCI.
		The ExpressCard interface is not backwards-compatable with CardBus devices, which presents a problem for those who may purchase a new system only to find that their devices do not work with the new slot design.
