I am going to purchase a 2.0 Maxtor External hard drive for backup.
I have a USB 1.1 motherboard - if I purchase an add on PCI 2.0 card,
will I get full 2.0 speed?
WinXP home with SP1 and all upgrades (version 5.1.2600)
2.1+GHz AMD, 512MB ram.

You will have USB 2.0 on the ports on the USB 2.0 card, the
mobo ports will still be USB 1.1.
