| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Works good for me
I ordered this for my "new" Dell Dimension 4300 running Windows XP sp2. It's an old model computer (2001), but it was brand when I got it last week cause the person I got it from had it unopened in the box in his apartment for 6 years. Only problem was the USB was still 1.1. It took forever to transfer date from my 2.0 External Hard drive. I installed this USB high speed card in my PC in less than 5 minutes, booted up and after Windows installed the necessary drivers, was ready to go. I was back to 2.0! I'm actually surprised how simple it was to install and that it instantly turned this PC into a 2.0. Very happy with this purchase. Sorry to hear about the trouble Dustin Zuch had with it. I've had similar problems trying to install other hardware so I know just what he's talking about, but for me and this system, it installed without a hitch. | 5 | Today | So far, so good
So far, this is working as advertised in my Dell Dimension 8200. (Pentium 4, 1.5Gig RAM) They work in XP and Ubuntu Linux as well. I've used all of the four outside ports..only thing is I have no idea what the interior port could be used for...I've plugged in my camera, a printer, the cradle for my iPAQ, and a Wacom tablet. | 5 | Today | Worth it at twice the price!
This product works extremely well! I am very happy with it. Which surprised me because I have had some bad experiences with the SIIG brand before? I was initially very nervous about ever purchasing a SIIG whatever. I spent half the money on another one with a cheap VIA chipset, and had nothing but problems. I guess you get what you pay for. My computer: An ASUS P4TE motherboard with a 1 gig of RAMBUS RAM (uses an Intel 850 chipset - RAM alone costs $500), a Silicon RAID card, an ASUS NVIDIA chipset graphics card, an Intel Gig Ethernet card, a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 audio card, another SoundBlaster PCI audio card, and a few optional extras that I also installed. I know my computer is choosey when it comes to chipsets; if yours is too, go with this card. It uses an NEC chipset, auto detected by Windows XP Pro, and it just works flawlessly. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on the other one. One neat thing about this card, it has a power port for a floppy drive connector that gives the card more power then my motherboard can supply it through its PCI slot. I mean after all, the card does have four external USB ports, and one internal one. The internal one also allows you to hook up via a header pin configuration, but not both at the same time. If there was anything I wish this card had was an extra internal USB port. For some strange reason my motherboard, as good as it is, never came with a USB 2.0 chipset on it. Go figure! | 5 | Today | I had no problems with this card!
I don't know what was wrong with the other reviewer, but I had ZERO problems installing this card. Opened my case, installed the card, Windows found the card, loaded the drivers & I was on my way. Works great with my new external USB 2.0 CDRW. I definately recommend this card, it is a great value! | 5 | Today | Waste of time and money
Absolutely terrible. I could defecate on this thing and it would probably work better. I spent five hours trying to get it to work with many headaches and curses. I was thinking the whole time it was a problem with my PC. Finally, after trying everything humanly possible (including updating my BIOS) and calling my motherboard tech support, I realized it had to have been a hardware issue. I tried everything (including switching it to different PCI slots) and everyone I asked was just as stumped as I was. Online knowledge base had nothing specific enough to even remotely help me and this company provides NO PHONE TECH SUPPORT, which is an automatic sign to me that the company is crud. I'm returning this piece of junk and getting an IOGEAR instead. | 1 | Today |
