The ExpressCard is a new standard to replace the aging PC Card. ExpressCard will have the theoretical maximum throughput to transfer data at a whopping 250 MBps compared to the now sluggish 132 MBps PC Card. To give a further feel for the speed of the new card here are some other examples: Gigabit Ethernet runs at 125 MBps, FireWire 800 runs at 100 MBps, and USB 2.0 runs at 60 MBps. ExpressCard requires computers to use the Intel Alviso chipset, have USB 2.0 and use PCI Express - all of which the new MacBook Pro has. Hope that cleared it up!
