PB Win98se USB version 1 to 2 upgrade question.
I have a Packard Bell from when they were sold in the US that came with 98se and USB ver 1. The system runs good yet and does what I need it too. The only thing is that it would be nice to have USB ver 2. Is it possible and not too much trouble to change it to USB ver 2?? Keep in mind I am not a PC guru TIA |

The creation dates of the files on the Win 98 First Edition and Second Edition

PB Win98se USB version 1 to 2 upgrade question.
If the USB on the motherboard meets the 1.1 specification, it cannot be
upgraded. The typical Pentium II or Pentium III motherboard of this era was USB 1.1 only. It was not until the Pentium 4 epoch (sounds like we're talking dinosaurs, doesn't it?) that USB 2.0 made an appearance. What you need is a USB 2.0 PCI card with drivers for Windows 98. Install the card, install the drivers and you will have USB 2.0 ports on the card. ....
