I plan to get a USB 2 portable hard drive.
One of my XP machines only has USB 1 ports.
Do USB 2 devices work more slowly or not at all?

Yes, it will work at an ultra low speed of USB 1.0 or 1.1. You could
have a PCI card offering USB 2.0 interfaces, or whatever other
hardwares that connect your machine with a high speed transfer rate
interface such USB 2.0 interface or IEEE or eSATA or 1000M bps
ethernet etc.
it seems that USB 3.0 would be implemented not long after.
You could get more info about your desired hardwares at "NewEgg":

it is like I'm advertising again and again for that NewEgg.

I have no need for a Firewire connection.
I guess all PCI cards are not created equal. I wonder why the first
card listed cost almost 3 times as much as the second card listed?http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias=aps&field-key...

Better, More Cost

You can get PCI USB2 cards. The driver for it, should be
available in WinXP SP1 or any later Service Pack. A card costs
about $10. Check inside the computer, to see if there is room
for a card.
With USB2 working for you, the transfer rate to a hard drive,
will be 30MB/sec. With USB1.1, it would be roughly 1MB/sec or a
bit more.

"Pros: One of my buds got this card in a B&M store after a salesdroid
told him that PMac systems like his Quicksilver G4 and my MDD G4 will
deep sleep properly with this card installed. El generico USB cards
require disconnecting all attached devices or the system will hang
when they go to sleep. I believe Apple documentation says that cards
have to remove power from devices properly in order to allow sleep,
and none of the cheapie cards out there do it apparently. This card
does as he found out when he tried one and I decided that I needed to
try it."
