PCI USB Card

Can anyone recommend a USB expansion card (PCI) which is known to work with Windows Vista.

I'm sick of running out of USB ports, and hubs are a nightmare when it comes to multimedia kit. (headsets \ webcams).

Cheers

I have a Belkin USB 2.0 5-port PCI card (4 ports at the back of the pci card and one facing internally) and it works without any problems or drivers in XP and Vista.

Think theres any benefit in the PCIE one?

I guess throughput based on what I read that PCIE is supposed to be faster than PCI. I cant speak from experience as I've never tried a PCIE USB card. Probably also depends on what slots you have free/available.

Yes, if you dont have any PCI get a PCI-E. Then again, just get a PCI-E one as it may last longet than PCI.
