stncttr908 Veteran Posted July 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2004 It' just a PCI card. Pop it in one of the board's three PCI slots and use the drivers that come with it, or perhaps Windows will already have drivers for you. No worries. As for overclocking, it depends more on what type and brand of RAM you're using and what kind of cooling you have.

bakerster Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Yes it will work (Y) and for overclocking, if your not very expireinced w/ it, I wouldn't say try it. I mena your at 2.5 now, 2.6 isn't that big of an improvement.

stncttr908 Veteran Posted August 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2004 Did you install any drivers? Did the card even come with any drivers? Are you running Windows XP? If so, do you have Service Pack 1 installed? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/197269-installing-usb2-card/#findComment-584284456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
