Good USB PCI cards?

[iamme]

Anyone know what to look for in a PCI card w/ USB ports? What's a good chipset?

Are they all pretty much the same?

I've seen very many, but haven't heard anything bad about any of them. You're probably right, there really isn't a noticable difference.

Anything but VIA?

I've used the Belkin 4-port in several machines now and it's worked great. At this point ewhenever I have any problems with USB on a VIA board I just pop one of these in and bypass the whole issue.

There are reviews of both the ADS and Belkin here.

This site is one of my favorites, BTW.....Everything USB, check it out - USBMan.

Are you guys using USB 2.0? I am about ready to get a 2.0 PCI card and was wondering what was good. I know belkin, adpatec and some others have them. Anyone using any of them??
