You have to add a 2.0 USB card. It is not just a software upgrade. Cards

No, you cannot upgrade your laptop USB ports from
1.1 to 2.0. The newer USB 2.0 specification is based
on the hardware design and no software can make a change.
What is the "rough cost"? Well, the price of a new laptop
with USB ports designed with the USB 2.0 specification.

Yes you can. Usually by installing a USB 2.0 card via a PCMCIA slot adapter.

I don't think you could upgrade the built in ones very
easily. If you want a quick fix, get a USB 2.0 PCMCIA
card and install that. You should be able to find one for
about $30.
Hope this helps,
