    Hello all, I am looking at the specs for the HP V3000z and I noticed it supports ExpressCard. I don't know too much about ExpressCard. I would like to use the following type of card, it is a 32bit CardBus Type II.

    Is the is a 32bit CardBus Type II compatible with the HP's ExpressCard/54 Slot?

    Thanks much for the help!

    :D

    No. The card you are referring to is a PCMCIA Type II Card, which isn't compatible.

    Check out www.expresscard.org for info about the slot you have.

    Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    I was going to get the cisco wireless card, it has amazing power reception. Well, that killed that idea. On that note, any thoughts on a really good CardExpress wireless that has great receive power?
