Advantages: USB 1.1 Backwards Compatable Disadvantages: Instalation
.
The drivers are in a set up file in the driver?s directory, which you need to run before installing the card. Once the set up file was ran and the computer was restarted then there were no problems with installing the card and windows automatically located the drivers. It was a pity that the manual was not clearer about this.
Since installation I have had absolutely no problems running both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices and I have to say that I have seen no noticeable change in speed between the 2 standards.
So apart from the slight installation hassle it has done the job it is supposed to do and that is all I want from it. Though I am confused as to why there is a need for 2 standards when on I have not seen a noticeable improvement in performance. ...

Before you buy a USB2.0 PCIcard, make sure that your motherboard got version 2.2PCI slots which are USB2.0 compatible.
If your motherboard hasn't got version 2.2PCI slots or higher, don't bother. You need a motherboard upgrade.
