No, you will need a usb 2.0 card!

Even if they're outdated they still should have valid drivers available. Only the speed will be slow compared with the new USB 2.0. Instructions on how to make them work depend on your OS. Make sure they are enabled from BIOS (if that option is available). Go to device manager and see if the USB devices are there. If they're having problems, check the messages related to them. Usually you have to replace/update the driver.

It's really easy to change out a drive on a desktop computer.  Just plug and play.

am sure most places can supply you with one, but make sure you have a usb2 port or it'll be dead slow, can get a usb2 pcmcia card for around £20 if you haven't.

Any computer store sells them, or visit www.newegg.com or www.tigerdirect.com.\n\nThe easiest to install plug into your USB port.\nEnpect to pay $30-$40US.\n\nThe folks at Linksys have some excellent tutorials, www.linksys.com

You should download Service pack 1 ...as it contains the drivers for running Usb Devices but Services pack 2 has the new revised bugfree drivers for USB

Usb2 is ~480mbps, ethernet speed varies, from 10mbps to 10000mbps but most newer pcs have 1000mbps ethernet

high speed usb is 2.0, which is faster as long as you have 2.0 on your computer. its compatible with 1.1, but wont run fast if you dont have usb 2.0 installed in your computer. you can buy a usb 2.0 card and upgrade your computer.

and you have a double-male usb cable? anyway .. an external usb harddrive would be the best thing ... you can get a smaller one for under 50 bucks ...

Unfortunately no...you cannot convert it but you can add a USB 2.0 to your system. To do this, you will need to buy another device, a USB 2.0 PCI card. This card is then to be inserted into your system at any empty PCI slot on the motherboard.\n\nBut if i am not wrong, a motherboard that supports Pentium 4, usually have a USB 2.0 port instead of 1.0 or 1.1.

I had a bunch of trouble from a USB 1.0 Hub being used in USB 2.0 Ports. First thing make sure it is USB 2 hub and then make sure the hub is plugged into the BACK of the computer (motherboard) not the front panel which goes to motherboard headers.

no, usb ports can't be upgraded. the only thing you can use is a pcmcia - usb 2.0 adapter card (but it hasn't to be one with a firewire 1394 jack - those are way too expensive).\n\nthis one is very good, is much cheaper and will do it\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815123021

You will need a USB port on your PC.

It's not possible. Get a USB 2 card.

Add a PCI card with extra USB 2.0 Hubs. The drivers should come on a cd and the card you insert in the same slot as you would a dialup modem or videocard.\n\nIts true that you can still use a 1.1 hub but it will go slow.\n\n2.0 > 480 Mbits/sec > 60 MBytes/sec\n17 seconds to fill up a 1 GB\n\n1.1 > 12 Mbits/sec > 1.5 MBytes/sec\nOver 10 minutes to fill up 1 GB

How old is your computer?  You will need USB 2.0.  If it is more than 3 or so years old you are out of luck.  You can get a card that will give you 4 USB 2.0 slots at the local computer shop.
