    So my lady bought the R61i laptop. Looking in the slot which apparently houses both PCMCIA cards, and ExpressCard, I need to know what size ExpressCard to buy. I'm trying to get a Verizon EVDO (aircard) solution on this laptop, and they have both sizes available.

    ExpressCard/34 = 34 millimeters
    ExpressCard/54 = 54 millimeters

    Which is the correct size to buy?

    Thanks in advance :)

    The ExpressCard slot on the R61i is a 54 slot, but can also support 34 cards. Notice on the 54 cards, the pins are the same as the 34, both 26 pins. Some small netbooks come only with a 34 slot, so if you have one of those too or planning to get one, then maybe it's wiser to get the 34 version.
