USB1.1 to USB2.0
I want to upgrade my USB1.1 to USB2.0, but my existing is 'onboard' my Dell M/C and does not allow me to add a new USB card. Is there a an adapter available that I can plug into my USB1.1 port to give me a USB2.0 output port? Thanks J. In message <W8idnTqAsLrllqXfRVn***@eclipse.net.uk> "John.N."

USB2.0 will fall back to USB1.1 if not all devices support USB2.0, but you won't be able to take advantage of the higher speeds of USB2.0 Why can't you install a new USB card? -- For recreational use only. You cannot add something on to a USB 1.1 to get USB 2.0. The source
specifications is for USB 1.1, and that is what the bottleneck will be. If your computer has a spare slot, you can add a USB 2.0 card. Some mother boards, depending on the BIOS, and the operating system characteristics (if Win 98 is used), will not work well with USB 2.0. -- Jerry G. ====== "John.N." <jm***@jfneal.eclipse.co.uk> wrote in message I want to upgrade my USB1.1 to USB2.0, but my existing is 'onboard' mynews:W8idnTqAsLrllqXfRVnyjw@eclipse.net.uk...

Absolute power is kind of neat. I've tried fitting a USB2.0 Card into a spare PCI slot but it crashes my
system.With this info I contacted Dell who state that because of the onboard USB setup I cannot fit a USB2.0 alongside the existing USB1.1.- it looks to me as though I need a new motherboard!

Absolute power is kind of neat. That sounds bogus. Over in the Dell groups
lots of people, including me, have installed USB cards along side onboard USB. That said, I did have to move the card around to a different slot for windows to detect it properly. Some sort of IRQ issue I think. Mine's a Dell 4100.

'With reference to the issue as you have mentioned your system currently has USB 1.1 and it is not possible to upgrade to USB 2 as the USB controller is integrated to the chipset of the motherboard. It is not possible to upgrade the version of the USB in your system either by means of drivers or BIOS updates.'

PCI slot. Dell's reply is limited to their hardware only, it doesn't say you can't install a PCI card.
