A quick question on USB

JackieChan · 2005-09-12 15:10:36

Hi Guys, Quick question. My PC is about 3 years old and the motherboard has USB 1.1 ports built in Can I simply buy a USB 2.0 PCI card and have that extra speed or is the motherboard a limitation?

Should be no problem once you have a spare pci slot. Works fine on my old dimension.
