just any ol' 2.0usb card?

I have a 8200 dell at home with the old 1.1 usb ports..........can I upgrade this with just any old 2.0 available at newegg?

Or.....what other info do I need to correctly match a 2.0usb card for my rig?

Thanks
Brad

any old card will do

USB 2.0 is a standard and PCI is a standard. Combine the two and you get a standard PCI card with standard USB 2.0. So yes, any ol' card with PCI and USB 2.0 will work

The only thing to remember about USB 2.0 is to avoid using unpowered passive hubs. That's the only time to you really have to think about it.
