When it comes down to it, all I really want USB 2.0 for is to be able to use an external hard drive for backup (FLACs, OGGs, personal files, etc.). Someday I'll get around to building a new computer. But for now my old PIII 1GHz is plenty fast. I'll just pick up one of the standard 4 port cards, so I have enough for whatever I can come up with... even if I do have to roll my desk away from the wall.
