Reviewed on 2008-05-18 Breathes new life into an old system! I received an old computer last month and of course, it came with a usb 1.1 port, I couldn't have that so I bought this card, and oh what a difference it has made, I recognizes the devices extremely fast and I can transfer the data on my other computer to this one quickly and without incident. Definetly buy this card!

Reviewed on 2008-05-02 Saved my computers life I was going to scrap my old Dell 700MHz desktop but took a chance and installed XP Home w/SP2 and this card in the last open slot. Everything runs fast. It's like a new computer. No glitches with this card (2 months now). Running two external hard drives and a HP all-in-one printer/scanner/copier. Still have one open external slot. If needed, I could daisy-chain a hub to get even more USB 2.0 slots. Very happy with this item. Can get another 2-3 years of life out of this computer. Waiting for the next generation of quad chipped CPUs to be born. This was truly a plug-n-play item. Very simple, very satisfied...Question: what could I connect to the one internal USB slot?

Reviewed on 2008-04-28 No problems after 1 month XP recognized the card automatically. Sony PCV-RX450, 500MB, Athlon 1MHz. Using it for a USB 2.0 wireless receiver. I can't see a difference between using USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 with this wireless card -- the internet download speed is the same. Will try downloading from a camera and compare speed. Update later.

Reviewed on 2008-04-22 Amazing! I bought this for my HP desktop beacuse it didn't have USB 2.0 but had XP, so I bought this. Fast shipping, easy install, and WOW does it work!

Reviewed on 2008-03-17 Great Product and easy setup Added this to my kids PC to get faster uploads and downloads from MP3's and Digital cameras. XP found the correct drivers and within minutes the faster ports were available!!!
