I need to buy a new usb card

[pogingwapo 0]

Boss ordered me to buy a new USB PCI card. What brand should I buy?

Boss's unit has Windows 2000 Professional OS and it is three years old.

I would imagine it really doesn't matter what brand it is, all it does is give you more USB sockets, a lot of new motherboards come with them, mine did and I never use it

Anyways troubleshooting is for Opf troubleshooting, not boss <s>shooting</s> troubleshooting, moving to OT

Boss's unit doesn't have a built-in USB port since it is three years old.

My predecessor bought USB cards but they don't work. *@#*@%$ & *!! WHAT A WASTE!!!

*@#*@%$ & *!! *@#*@%$ & *!! *@#*@%$ & *!!

The *@#*@%$ & *!! brand of those *@#*@%$ & *!! USB Cards is VIA VT6202.

Well, ask boss about his MB then and then go to hardware store and ask for a PCI USB adapter compatible with bosses old sistem .

Mine is like Placebo's, i have 6 or more usb port gathering dust.

USB Cards is VIA VT6202.

Hmm don't know them so don't know why they don't work, according to this site they don't require anything besides windows and a spare PCI slot, did you try the drivers on the CD? Don't know if these drivers are any different

Edit:

It is not 5-port. And it didn't have a box nor a CD.

4 Ports, Floppy driver, plastic pouch (click)

Thank you for the links.

It depends on whether or not it's your money or his money that you're spending. Just go to the computer store ask for a USB card/expansion... they'll be priced higher but they'll more than likely give you the right thing the first time, and there will be no guesswork on your part like how the interweb usually works.

Try to go with a brand you recognize, such as Adaptec or Belkin.

Also, if you need to get a USB 2.0 hub, get one that has multiple transaction processors such as the Belkin Tetrahub. If you don't you will find that a single low-speed USB connection such as one used for a keyboard, mouse or joystick will hog the entire 480Mbps bandwidth that connects the hub to your PC.
