Simple and useful article for me.

Can I upgrade a laptop to USB 2.0? How do I Upgrade to Enhanced USB?

Thanks

how about a laptop,can I? The PCMCIA slot s already in use by the wifi adapter ... it's a really old computer, you know...

It was really very useful. Especially giving the picture of a PCI slot was a thoughtful idea.
Thank you.

I am also interested in bringing my Fujitsu C series Lifebook up to USB2.0 from 1.1.

Easy? Hard? Can or Can't do?

Hey thanks man.

Found one with a power adapter. Someone bought a card from Best Buy and it had no adapter so he couldn't run high powered USB devices. Did a search and won't have thqat problem.

Outstanding article. Thank you. I am wondering why the hardware needs to be upgraded to 2.0? It would seem to me that the existing physical wires, etc would already handle the data throughput. I'll try to research online but if you know why that would be a great sidenote to add to the article. Again, the article was superbly written. Thanks.

I have old computer with usb 1.0 port, have
empty PCI slot and wanna upgrade with PCI
usb 2.0 port. My question is, what will be the current speed for all devices that
connected to this new PCI usb 2.0 port?
ps. my devices are all usb 2.0.

because i know, usb 1.0 is verry slloowww!!
ty. =)

So connecting one of those 2.0 hub extensions with the 4 port adapter into the "USB port on my pc will not upgrade my 1.1 to 2.0? I have to go inside?

I found this post useful.
Thank you!

Hi. I have an old computer with usb 1,1 and want to go to 2.0. I'm interested in the 2.0 pcm card but I'm running windows 98 o/s. Will I need to upgrade to windows 2000 for the card to work or can I stay with windows 98?

I have an IBM thinkmad model A31 notebook computer running Winderz XP sp2. I bought a Dynex model DX-UC202 PCMCIA card bus adapter with usb 2.0 capability. I downloaded the correct drivers from the Dynex website. The Dynex literature tells you how to verify that the correct drivers were installed. THEY WERE NOT. No matter what I do, the correct drivers won't install, and if I try to use the device, such as for a thumb drive, it locks up the puter and trashes the file system on the thumb drive, thus requiring reformating. I have yet another IBM thinkmad notebook running Winderz 98. The win98 drivers install just fine and the Dynex usb adapter works fine. I explained all this in an email to Dynex tech support. Their reply was nonsensical.

Excellent site, keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks

Thanks alot for this quick how to. My mom needed an USB 2.0 PCI, or a way to upgrade from 1.1. Your informations helped me. Thanks.

P.S: Why arent you using WordPress ?

I\'ve tried 2 different hubs to get more USB ports and niether of them will work after they have been plugged in to the USB ports on the back of the computer. The ports on the computer are OK as the printer and optical mouse are plugged into them. But when I plug in the hub and then plug in the mouse and printer to the hub, nothing works thru the Hub. Any ideas????

Thanks for the article dude... it was easy to understand even for a non-techie like me..
