Rating:  - Good for old laptops
I have a fairly old laptop with only a single USB 1.1 port, which has recently decided to stop working properly, so getting more USB ports was a must for me. All in all I'd have to say that this card has generally worked well for me, but has some important limitations that you should know about first...
So first the Bad:
* The card can't power unpowered USB devices (e.g. flash pen drives) at USB 2.0 speeds without external power (i.e. plugging in an AC adapter). This isn't really ... Read More
Rating: - A Great Upgrade for an Old Laptop Computer but.....
I own a 2001 h/p Pavilion laptop (Windows XP Home Edition) that has only two-off in-built USB 1.1 ports.

I just received this item and immediately ran into problems with it, but they are easily solved!

The first problem i came across was that most devices that are not externally powered such as usb flash drives and floppy disk drives may not work unless you plug in the supplied AC Power lead, without it the card simply did nothing when i plugged in certain BUS powered ...

Rating:  - Useless
None of my USB items (TV card, memory stick, ADSL modem) are working with this card unless I use the card's mains adaptor : not very practical when using a laptop!
