Becky, Bills are worse than taxes, but they both seem to be doing well. lol If you can move the USB devices to the slots in a card below, we're probably better targetting those slots in the card instead of the ones already in use. The mainboard USB ports are most likely an older version of the USB standard (1.1), while the card may have been added to provide slots with the newer 2.0 standard, which runs many, many times faster. The trick now is to discuss the best way to route USB cables from the front panel connector out the back of the case to these ports. I know you will at least need some kind of extention cable to make it long enough. You will also need a hole that's large enough for the USB connector to pass through. If your case does not already have such an opening, one example is shown in the link below. http://www.frontx.com/install.html Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Becky kane" <bekkykane@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 12:28 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Becky's front USB ports > LOL.........Working GMan, it is kind of like winning money but you have to > put in hours and hours to win :-).
