Question about Usb Controllers...

BringTheRain · 15 Sep 2009 at 10:45

I Have just got a PCI card which has got 4 USB ports (one doesnt work

) and 2 internal USB ports.

Silly question but why are there internal USB ports.

Im tempted to plug in my dongle wifi thing for my Keyboard.

What are they there for??

Thanks

Oh right ok, so kinda like usb headers on the mobo. But except they are usb style not like individual little cables?

Oh yeah its deffo a 6 port card.

Four on the back, and two internal.

It is second hand. Its meant for xp the card and im ruuning vista 64 bit. I wonder when it installed the drivers it installed a 5 port card driver ??

LOL - Just a guess

From a programming point of view I don't think it would work like that, but maybe!

Good luck getting it to work.

Yeah was just a guess hehe. I will have a look today. Still 5 ports is cool. My mobo only had TWO

So an extra 5 is all gravy
