The usb 1.1 ports are on the motherboard. I tried to install a Ultra 31500 6 port (4 external, 2 INT) usb 2.0 pci card but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work. Ultra tech support says that I need a 5V pci bus and will not work with a 3V bus. Package says that it needs PCI rev 2.2. From what I can tell I should have that due to the date I bought the computer (2003) and the date of the bios but do not know how to confirm directly. I ran belarc but did not see that information.

Drivers appear to load from the disk and tell me to reboot, but I get the same new hardware found message. Hardware wizard cannot find the drivers even when I point it to the disk.

Not SURE if I have to return this board and get something else or I just need some help (well I know that part).Hi,

I don't know if you looked at this but...

Your board is in the 'compatible' list for enabling USB 2.0 in your BIOS which should turn your USB 1.1's into 2.0 anyway.
