Regards Roger If you haven't used the interface on that USB 1.1 card for some time, then removing the card makes sense. It would waste 1 watt of electricity if you just leave it there. I own one USB 1.1 card, but it is stored in my junk closet. The only time I use it, is if I need to test a driver issue of some sort. I have plenty of USB2 ports (compatible with USB2 or USB1.1), so don't need that card any longer. Paul

Regards Roger It's not going to hurt anything to have the USB1.1 card there and if you need the ports for USB devices that don't require a hi-speed connection you can leave it... but if the 4 port card you add is enough for all your devices... you might as well pull the old card

It will help you to separate the USB 1.1 devices rom the USB 2.0 ones. Now a days, you can NEVER have too many USB ports.
