PCMCIA is a card for PC laptop. If you have a PC laptop with no built-in Ethernet port, this is the one to install. PCI and ISA are two different types of internal buses that can be used for connecting NIC in desktop PC models. They will both work well with your High Speed Internet service, however, the PCI card is a more recent type of card than the ISA. If you have the choice and you have a PCI slot free in your computer, we recommend that you install a PCI card.
