UNSOLVED
internal or external usb 2.0 addon
if i add a external usb 2.0 hub on a dell dimension 4400 that only has usb 1.1, would it go at usb 2.0 speed. im wondering because you plug the hub into the usb port of your computer. im wondering if it would fall back to usb 1.1 speed.

Adding a USB 2.0 Hub will not help. If you are using High power devices though this will still be needed.
What you need is a PCI 2.3 compatable card that uses NEC chipset so that it will work with Windows XP sp2 or SP3 without needing any additional drivers. IOGEAR makes such a card and its not an arm and a leg $$$$.

IOGEAR® offers the five port USB 2.0 PCI Card (GIC251U). USB 2.0 will move data at a blazing rate of 480 Mbps (Megabits per second), and is fully backward compatible with the first generation of USB devices.

The new USB 2.0 PCI card will allow you to take full advantage of the USB 2.0 technology on your current USB 1.1 systems. Don't get left in the dust with out-of-date technology, take advantage of the scalability that USB 2.0 products provide.
