Cardbus was sort of the new style (It's still PCMCIA) but 32 bit rather than 16 bit I believe. If it doesn't say Carbus then it's 16 bit PCMCIA rather than 32bit PCMCIA, but you only need to worry about that if you are living in 1995 :)

That's exactly it. Usually the manufacturer will make a destinction on their website stating one or the other.
