A Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI, "Peripheral Component Interconnect") is a bus (picture 2) computer standard for connecting peripheral devices directly to your motherboard. Dimensions of the cards - PCI (standard) 107 mm x 312 mm (picture 1) - PCI Low Profile Height: 36.07 mm x 64.41 mm Depth: 119.91 mm to 167.64 mm - Mini PCI Mini PCI cards have a Maximum consumption2W.

ExpressCard is a hardware standard replacing the PCMCIA/PC Card/CardBus cards, both developed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. The host device supports PCI-Express and USB 2.0 connectivity in the ExpressCard slot, and each card uses the mode of connectivity the designer considers more appropriate for the task. The cards can connect to the computer on without RESETiarlo (support Hot swap or hot plug). It is an open standard of the ITU-T and its definition can be obtained from the official website of ExpressCard. You can connect to this bus, different types of peripherals such as Wi-Fi cards, Bluetooth, TV cards, FireWire, etc.
