USB 2.0 PCI card 5 port for 26.00 + 6 dollars fedex shipping

good deal, I was just going to get a 4 port at Circuit City B&M for 34.95 --- but it was not 2.0.
 
You use to it to connect add'l usb peripherals such as printers, scanners and joystick, etc. This is for USB 2.0 peripherals. What you have now is USB 1.1 which is much slower.
 
But how does the USB wire reach the INTERNAL USB port? I just don't understand how an INTERNAL USB port is useful...
 
An internal USB port does not use a traditional USB connector. You cannot plug a big USB cable into it. It is a small connector with pins (like the audio connector on a soundcard.) If you look at that picture again, you would plug the black connector on the pins of the "internal USB port" on the card and install that plate in a slot on the back of the machine. Hope I'm making sense here.

Edit

Actually, as I look at the picture again, it DOES look like an actual USB port. Sorry pmark. Ya got me on this one. Maybe this is for a front panel connection????
 
that looks cool. could use the 2.0 usb ports without an external hub. are any devices out supporting 2.0, or do usb devices just work as fast as the port can handle? i.e., is the speed dependent on both the port and device or just the port alone?
 
I believe the internal port are for hard drives or cd-roms that are USB 2.0 and not IDE. Which would free up your ide slots if multiple hard drives and cd-roms.
