USB 2.0 PCI card for Asus CUSL2 motherboard

[Fisher]

Hi

Processor:
800 megahertz Intel Pentium III
32 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache

Operating System:
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600)

Mother board:
Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. CUSL2 REV 1.02
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: Award Software, Inc. ASUS CUSL2 ACPI BIOS Revision 1001.A
06/21/2000

The motherboard has 2 USB connectors which are not USB 2.0
Bus Adapters
Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM USB Universal Host Controller - 2442
Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM USB Universal Host Controller - 2444

I intend to add a USB 2.0 PCI card to this motherboard.

Could someone advice me what would be the right PCI card that would work
with this M/B.

Note: I tried a USB 2.0 PCI 2port card ..with ALI chipset and it never
worked..drivers were not installed properly.
I have now removed the card from the system.


Thank You

Try a card with a NEC chip on it. They have the best
reputation. I believe at least one Adaptec USB card
I looked at used a NEC chip. You can use the pictures
of the USB cards on the Newegg site, to figure out
which other brands of cards are also using a NEC chip.

Click the "View Pic" link, to see a picture of a
card. I use the Newegg site just for the pictures, but
I cannot buy anything from them because I am in Canada.

I have a TUSL2 (same board, only with Tualatin support) and
haven't had any problems with an ADS Tech USB 2.0 card:

As long as the card has the standard NEC controller, the card
brand shouldn't matter much, or at all. It will be able to use
Microsoft's USB 2.0 driver.

the reason most of the time a pci card doesn't work is a slot conflict.
so move the card to a different slot and try it.

The ALI chipset is probably the worst USB 2.0 chipset available, closely
followed by the Via VT6202 USB 2.0 chipset.

Look for a USB 2.0 card that uses the NEC chipset.

I have a Vantec UGT-PC205 in one of my machines (older AOpen board) and
it works flawlessly.
