What is the speed of Cardbus using PCI bus?

  1. 1056 Mbps

  2. 500 Mbps

  3. 480 Mbps

  4. 10 Gbps

The correct answer is: 1056 Mbps

The speed of Cardbus using PCI bus is 1056 Mbps, also known as 1.056 Gbps (gigabits per second). This is because Cardbus is a type of PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) interface that uses the PCI bus interface and has a theoretical maximum data transfer rate of 1.056 Gbps. Option B, 500 Mbps, is incorrect as it is the maximum data transfer rate for PCI bus. Option C, 480 Mbps, is incorrect as it is the maximum data transfer rate for USB 2.0. Option D, 10 Gbps, is incorrect as it is the maximum data transfer rate for PCI Express 3.0. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it is the specific speed for Cardbus using PCI bus.
