It's a no brainer

I usually don't deal with the hardware side of my old HP. But I needed a USB 2.0 port for my new external hard drive. This is such a breeze to install. Just find an empty slot, put it in and voila! XP recognizes it right away. I was up and running with it in less than 10 minutes!

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!

Does exactly what it says on the tin!

Worked just as I expected. Once in the PCI slot the computer immediately recognized it and it works perfectly giving me USB 2 capability where it is needed (external HDD etc.). There are plenty of cheaper options in the market, but I went with this one because I felt that a branded model would have the best chance of immediately working well, and it does.

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.

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?
