Need a USB PCI card, advice please?

I want to get a USB PCI card, and I want to go with a brand name one (for easier further drivers update). Any recommendations?
 
Get whatever works, USB controllers usually don't require special drivers so don't dwell on name brands.

dont get one with the ALi chip. go with any card that uses nec or via.

Ali chips are nothing but trouble. I made the mistake of buying one of their USB cards.. never again.

I already bought it, and it's probably gonna be at my door in a couple hours.
The cheapest one I found on newegg was what I picked:

BTW, when I bought it 2 days ago, it was $7.50 + $3.00 shipping, they have increased the price already... wow!

Well good luck man, I hope it works, but if it doesn't, don't waste your time trying to fix it like I did. Return it and get a NEC.
