Both are not compatible with each other, so don't get either until you are sure which slot your notebook comes with.

express card is better of course since it's 64-bit. more bandwidth. supports 3Gbit/s i think

for normal pcmcia, it's just a 32-bit cardbus. that means 1.5Gbit/s max

yea.. i just check ... expresscard supports 3Gbit/s
