As I said I might be wrong, but that's how I understood it. I have also never seen a PC that had more than 2 USB ports. As for 4 Port cards: That might just be a Hub that sports 4 connections? Although on the usb.org site I found this: Q9: How many USB peripherals can I connect at once? A9: Technically, you can connect up to 127 individual USB peripherals at one time. Due to the fact that some devices reserve USB bandwidth, the practical maximum of devices is less than the theoretical maximum. However, PCI-USB add-in cards provide an independent USB bus to which even more peripherals can be connected. So you might / should be able to add more if I read this correctly.
