The card is internal, it is connected onto your computer's main board. Since your computer runs XP, it is assumed that you have PCI ports available. (It's still a fairly recent computer)
The ports can be accessed externally, from outside of your computer. This is to distinguish from the internal ports, onto which you can connect USB device that stays in the computer (card reader that fits the floppy slots, that sort of thing) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David J Brooks Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 10:34 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT: Nikon D700 On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 10:27 AM, P.
