Yes you can transfer data but I have only seen usb 1.0 cables. So you are
limited to 10 megabit/sec.

No, not unless you want to spend a lot of money doing so.
Get network cards put into both computers and hook them up with a crossover cable. It is a lot cheaper and faster (up to 100Mb/sec). "John" wrote in message ... Hi, can I use a USB to USB cable to conect 2 PCs for transferring data and gaming. If so what speeds are possible. John

NO, you can't share that way. You'll do damage to your computer if you
connect that way. You need to connect thru network cards with a CAT. 5 crossover cable. -- DaveW "John" wrote in message ... Hi, can I use a USB to USB cable to conect 2 PCs for transferring data and gaming. If so what speeds are possible. John

They make a special USB bridge cable for the specific task of connecting two computers. http://www.sewelld.com/UsbCable.asp mac

Can I use a USB cable to transfer data
yess, i was scrolling down the article, and I got to here, I KNEW they
had one. And You can get USB2.0 cables how do you think we plug in USB2.0 devices...It's just a different head for the device cord, and same on either for patch. The ability to run in USB2.0 mode is dependent on motherboard USB2.0 support on both PC's or Devices
