USB 2.0 port

[gouqizi.lvcha]

Hi,

I have my laptop running Windows XP SP2. When I plug my USB disk, th
system shows "This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a
Hi-speed USB 2.0 port".

My laptop have three VIA Rev5 USB universal host controller. What I can
do to get a USB 2.0 port? Thanks!

Not much use in laptops. He could get a USB2 PCMCIA or Cardbus card tho.

No such thing as PCMCIA cards. Disappeared long ago.

Cardbus can be considered a PCI 2 variation.
