ASUS K7V and USB

[Cybertopia]

Hi,

I hope everyone is enjoying summer

Well anyways, I am using the 2 USB slots on my ATX mobo, but did you guys notice the little "Expansion" USB thing they gave us with 2 more USB slots. Can I go ahead and buy a USB cable and connect it to the mobo and have 2 MORE usb slots? so i have a total of 4 usb slots and i don't have to buy a USB hub...

Thank you!!

The slot thing that has the 2 extra usb ports and the wire to connect it come with the mobo.

you are correct >>checking mobo box<<

i'll go ahead and hook it up so i can have 4 usb slots (feeling kinda stupid)

hey, i connected the usb slots and the wire to the mobo...

when it is starting win 98, the mobo beeps once and freezes everything up. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

thanks

I'm just throwing a wild, uneducated suggestion here but since that USB connector uses a PCI slot, you might want to update the PCI drivers:
