What is the Difference Between Xircom® RealPort CardBus and non-Cardbus?

The RBE-100 is a 32-bit Integrated PC Card which has higher performance, uses less power and includes power management advantages over the RE-100. The RBE-100 provides higher throughput with its 32-bit bus-mastering architecture which increases the data transfer speeds between the laptop and the network without burdening the PC's processor. It brings PCI-based performance to your CardBus-equipped laptop in both 10Mbps and 100Mbps network environments. CardBus 32-bit PC Cards (like the RBE-100) deliver up to 80Mbps networking speeds, while 16-bit PC Cards (like the RE-100) deliver a maximum of 20Mbps.
