Then I grabbed the User Manual and turned to "Verifying Proper Installation for Windows 2000, XP Vista" on page 5. The next step is to follow the "Unversal Serial Bus Controllers" list as instructed.
Everything on my XP (virgin) PC was listed EXCEPT "USB 2.0 Root Hub Device." Called Belkin tech support. Was put on their hold from h@ll.

Pros: Belkin has always provided me with quality equipment. Quick setup and added plenty of needed ports without having to put in a hub.

Despite the Amazon ad and picture, the "Hi-Speed USB 2.0 5-Port PCI Card
by Belkin" from Digi Accessories (at least the one I received) is not a Belkin product. It doesn't look like the card in the picture and it doesn't work with many of my USB devices.
from Amazon.com
One of the USB devices is a Thermallake SATA docking station. Used it to clean up files, repartition/reformat a 400gb drive and then reloaded it with 235gb of data. The Belkin card handled it all without a hitch.
Highly recommended for use in this configuration.

R e v I e w y o u r r e c e n t p u r c h a s e s, well!!! It would not let my wake up my computer form sleep mode, had to force-quit computer. Grrrrrrrrrrr!, Sent an email to Belkin and received no reply from them,

I just bought a new computer and needed to add USB ports to it. I thought I had a great solution but discovered that this card is NOT compatible with Windows Vista. There are no drivers on the enclosed CD for it and the company's website (Belkin) doesn't acknowledge that it is one of their products. Also, in the spirit of "plug and play", I installed it anyway but my computer wouldn't even boot up with it installed.
from Amazon.com
After the USB ports onboard the Dell computer died, I needed something to connect the myriad of USB devices on the desk (2 external storage devices, two printers and one scanner). I purchased the Belkin controller because I've been satisfied with other Belkin products that I have purchased in the past; their price was a bit higher than similar controllers from other manufacturers. The hardest task was extracting the USB controller card from the plastic packaging.
from Amazon.com
Pros: Everything. You cannot go wrong with Belkin. Uses Windows native drivers.
from Newegg.com
I have a Mac G4, and this card will work. However the first one I had was determined to be faulty (Belkin tech support surprised me by actually being helpful and knowledgeable), and I sent it back for a replacement. The second card works better, but I still have issues with it not always recognizing something plugged into it on startup.
