Low-Profile PCI and Mini PCI are two different initiatives that address different market needs. Low-Profile PCI will allow greater flexibility in desktop and server designs, and in some cases eliminate the need for riser cards. Mini PCI was developed specifically for integrated communications peripherals such as modems and network interface cards (NICs) in a mobile environment. Mini PCI provides flexibility for OEM/system integrators and is not intended for end-user installation.
