Re: High Speed USB controller??
I'm pretty sure that a USB 2.0 card had its own controller onboard, which is good news for the upgrade jockeys, but also will tend to have a more stable output than a powered hub (according to many - Microsoft included) and is a better bet in many cases for awkward peripherals. If you do it, then it is as well to get as many ports on the card as you can and even better if it allows you to pipe to the existing front ports on the case.
