Advantages of CardBus Technology

"CardBus" and "PC Card" are two alternative types of PCMCIA interfaces (or slots) on laptops, desktops, and PDAs. The PC Card is a 16-bit interface (20Mbps transfers), while the CardBus is a 32-bit interface (100Mbps transfers). The 32-bit interface of CardBus supports higher data rates and, therefore, is commonly used for high-speed networking devices. It also offers lower power consumption: CardBus Cards all operate at 3.3v while PC Cards operate at either 5v or 3.3v. To simplify, the CardBus Card allows for faster transfers with lower power consumption: Efficiency!
