C800 PC card 16 or 32 bit

 
Greetings,
 
I want to add a USB 2.0 PC card to my system.  The tech specs on my computer are below.  I am confused as whether I am limited to a 16 bit card?  The spec says 16 bit PC card but the card bus is 32 bit?  All  of the USB 2.0 PC cards are 32 bit.
 
Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Marc

The C800 has a 32-bit (CardBus) PCMCIA controller.

Almost everything after the last generation of Pentium (1) systems has CardBus.
