Usb 2.0 is a PCI card correct?

Mine is the older version like 1.1 i think.

So i'm think of changing to usb 2.0 do i have to remove the usb 1.1 or can i have 2 of them together.

Also if i need to remove the usb 1.1 how do i do it because it is connect directly to my mobo.

my comp is also 3-4 yrs old so can it support usb 2.0?

Your 3-4 year old computer has USB 1.1 and the only way that it can be made to use USB 2.0 is to install a USB 2.0 PCI card if you have an available PCI slot.

you can have both on your machine. Connect any 1.1 device to your 1.1 on board, and 2.0 to the 2.0 card. You can connect 2.0 devices to 1.1 and vice versa, bit 2.0 devices will work at only 1.1 speed.

When all else fails beat the $%!* out of it!!!
