 +==== 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. [[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 ​ : 
 +The hot-pluggable version of PCI Express. Note that Express<​code></​code>​Cards can be USB as well, in which case they won't be listed here.
