Data Transfer Speed?
Does anyone know if there is any difference in speed between an PCI, PCI Express or USB air card? I am trying to help my friend buy a connection card and we are trying to figure out if there is any advantage to getting a PCI card instead of waiting for the USB card. If anyone knows please post (even if it's just speculation!). Thanks all!

The EVDO REV A standard depicts the speed of the card, not the connection type, the USB obviously has more options to connect to more devices (ie: desktops, labtops w/ no data card slot). I hear also it has a mass storage mode install for it, so you don't have to carry around a cd. But on the negative side the USB Data Card was delayed (rumored for bad reception) But I would still go w/ USB over all personally. Hope that helps JM

I know that the connection speed with the network is the same with all the cards, but what about between the card and the computer, do you lose anything if you use a USB connection vs. a PCI. Thats more what I'm wondering, kinda like the difference between serial and USB connections, USB is obviously much faster than serial, so is PCI faster than USB or is it the same?

not at all of the connection types can transfer at 10+MB/sec where the data card highest speed is 2.4 Mb
1 MEGABYTE = 8 MEGABITS
no matter which card type you go with it has plenty of speed to cover the EVDO speed.
No matter which card type you go with it will be like pushing a golf ball through a hole the size of a basketball hoop.
Make sense?

No matter which card type you go with it will be like pushing a golf ball through a hole the size of a basketball hoop. Causing no noticeable latency on any connection type.

YES. Thats exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks SLVA! 🙂
