    Hi all,
    Just wonder if there is anyone out there to point me in the right direction.
    Anyone know of a Motherboard for a Pentium 3 1000MHz (I know it's old but I like it) that has a header for USB2 and AGP Port.
    Reason is I have bought a Internal USB2 Card reader that will not connect to my USB2 PCI card only has the wires for a header.
    always hoping

    Hi there Irdreed yes it has been a while, as you can see I am still tinkering around.
    This is the problem the mobo that I have in the PC I have installed a USB 2 Card
    as the mobo only supports 1.1. The card reader though is USB2 and it will not connect to a standard USB plug like you have on the USB2 PCI cards it only connects to Headers (the little Pins) unless there are adaptors available for them I don't know.
    I have 2 of those Intel Pentium 3 1000 MHz Coppermine CPU's shame to throw them away.
    Still hoping
    many thanks for now

    Hi there irdreed,
    the mobo sounds good it has USB2 headers onboard a bit short on options like no AGP port and only 2 Ram sockets, but then it is very cheap so I guess you can't ask for too much, but yes this is the type of mobo that I am looking for.
    The USB 2 PCI card with headers would be the best, except it has a Ali chip and my Canon 8000F Scanner will only work with a USB2 cards with a NEC chip.
    Maddening all this little hickups.
    But thanks Irdreed I am a lot further now than I was 6 days ago.
    At least now I know that these things still exist Dinasours are still alive.
    great going
