USB3 & Serial RS232
Win XP Pro SP latest update.
I have a Fujitsu A6025 laptop. It has USB2 only. But it does have the large double MMC slots to those cards. Is there and can anyone recommend a card that will give me USB3 capability? I would like to get better speed moving files to my flash and external USB drives. It does not need to fully support the USB high end speed but any improvement would be great. Also a card for Serial RS232 ? (rather than the USB to Serial RS232 cable) --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

Oops -
It has an Express Card Slot and PC Card Slot (not MMC). That is what I want to use for the USB3 and/or Serial RS232. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

Hey David, do you have a different recommendation for Win7 HP 64bit? Just curious, since I am thinking about it. Thanks, Can you please be more specific... What hardware do you require and what is the platform the hardware is to be installed in (Make & Model) to be used under Win7/64 ? -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Thanks, Since Win7 is 50% of the PC market, a company would be pretty foolish to *not* have a Windows 7 driver. I think Windows 8 is using a Microsoft-provided driver. It's possible older OSes, you have to check the web site for the product and make sure it has a driver. ******* I checked the one I got, and it's a Siig brand product with a NEC chip on a PCI Express x1 card. The accompanying docs say: Win8 - driver built-in on OS Win7/Vista/WinXP - driver on provided CD Earlier OS - out of luck (no Win2K) My motherboard slot is likely to be x1 Rev1.1 or 250MB/sec. I have a spare video card slot which is Rev2, where a single lane in the slot is 500MB/sec. This choice makes a difference to the speed you get over USB3.0. In other words, if I want a "better" USB3 connection, instead of a "good" USB3 connection, I need to change slots for my add-in Siig USB3 card. A typical disk enclosure chip, might manage 200MB/sec. There are some UASP "dock" controller chips, where you plug in a hard drive, where they get closer to 500MB/sec (maybe about 450 or so). Using a PCI Express x1 Rev2 slot isn't actually the fastest configuration. If your Southbridge (chipset) has USB3 native, it connects to the CPU over DMI, which has better bandwidth than the add-on choice of PCI Express Rev.2. This could be fixed if an expansion USB3 chip used PCI Express x1 Rev.3, but only video card slots have that. And I don't think any chip makers other than video card companies, are interested in that standard. I think it manages 985MB/sec and would be perfect for USB3.0. Maybe even USB3.1, when it comes out (soon). Bandwidth ranking: USB3.0 on PCI Express x1 Rev.1.1 - good for disk drives USB3.0 on PCI Express x1 Rev.2.0 - good for USB3 enclosure with SSD drive - good for Blackmagic Shuttle video capture USB3.0 on Southbridge - maybe 5% better than previous one at a guess - good for benchmark contests USB3.1 - coming soon... will be faster still Paul
