Usb 2.0

Hey Everyone.
I bought a 4 port (self powered) usb hub adaptor the other day..its a high speed 2.0 jobby. Unbeknown to me i only have a standard 1.1 fitted in my poota,so it wouldn't work! Is it worth me buying a usb2.0 card to fit to my poota or should i just go and swap said adapptor for a 1.1 4 porter? Or even swap it for a 2.0 card with more outlets,obviously.(make sense?).
I only have 2 usb outlets on my poota,1 is now taken up by my BB modem (awaiting activation)..and i need to run a printer,webcam,digi camera attachment..and maybe have one left over for a game controller in the future. Would the modem be better going through a 2.0 port?

Answers on a postcard to the usual address.. :laugh: Many thanks if you can help.
 
It should work just at slower speeds, I would keep the hub as if you upgrade your computer or replace it then the usb 2 card with more ports could become redundant, swapping it for a usb 1 hub is no good either as if you upgrade the pc you'll get usb 2 or you might buy usb 2 compatible devices and want the extra speed.

Get a cheap usb pci card for the hub and the modem will run fine on the old usb 1 port, leaving you one spare port on the hub, one on the card and one on the pc itself.
 
:nod: Lovely job,thanks Phill.
I get the gist of that,i'm not too technically minded when it comes to compoota hardware..luckily i have friends who are.
