i was planning to buy a usb 2.0 pci card at pc express today. when i asked the technician if it's compatible with an old pentium 133, they said that they are not sure. they wanted me to bring the unit to their store to test the machine if it works. and of course it has a service fee when i sent it to them. they only mentioned this because i asked (and i don't like this).
has anybody have good (or bad) experiences with these kind of usb 2.0 pci adapters? has the standard for PCI card slots changed since the time when p133 were the top of the line machines (uhmmm... mi 90's perhaps?). will an "lspci -v" show my usb card? is there any different between computers today where computers have integrated usb ports? here is a product description from pcx.com.ph: USB 2.0 PCI card adaptor << but i think its full name is an INTEL****usb**2.0** when i saw the pc express receptionist type in for the product name. thanx in advance for you ideas... -allan espinosa bs ece ateneo de manila _______________________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
