You would have to pull off the case.. then inside there are white slots (pci slots).. behind them on the case you will see 'holes' to the outside (may have to remove a place holder thingy).. You would stick the card in that slot and screw the bracket into the case.. The card should have drivers with it that you would install once the hardware is in.. That should be all it takes to have USB ports..

What OS is that comp running? If it's 95 or older, you probably can't do this anyway.. USB wasn't supported (properly) in Winbloze until Win98..

Oh, and PCI card isn't the only option.. I think they have some that go up front where your CD player is.. not the 'same' spot, but if you have an open bay...

Just head to Circuit City or Comp USA or Best Buy and look around by the modems/vid cards/hard drives/etc.. or ask someone what options they know about for adding USB to 'older' comps..

 
well its one of the old packard bell comps that my old roomates dad suped up(yea....upgraded from 4mb ram to 16 and gave it a 1gig h/d) still like 166mhz.....and he also loaded win. 98 on it.....so its running off the proper system.....guess i'll have to see....my wifes boss has one of those comps in their office and it has the usb port.....but as i said earlier i dont really wanna do any work to the comp if i dont have to cause they are going to take it eventually......i may jus be sol tho....we'll see

He was looking for a simple suggestion...not for someone telling him his computer ***** ****...

Mike works his ass off to support himself and his wife...not to mention a child, which will come soon enough. The least of his worries is his computer..
