    Desire to Upgade USB 1.1 to USB 2 and connect an external hardrive to backup my harddrive. New adventure for me!!! What do I need to purchase? And request a recipe to install and become operational. Hopefully I can do this? Please advise. Thanks for your time.


    How about those Steelers:) :)

    You'll need to get a PCI - USB Card. They cost about 20 bucks and can be found almost anywhere. (compusa - bestbuy)
