I have this PC (266 Mhz) with Win 2000. While it works just fine it doesnt have a USB port.

So Will using a USB Card solve this or is it a little more complicated?

Cards:

I am assuming its is plug and play. Just put it in one of the PCI slots.

Anyone?

Obviously I would need this to use a digital camera among other things.

thanks

as long as your mother board has the required empty pci slot...you should be ok. Maybe you will have to install drivers for the new port but that should come with the card and/or will be downloadable.

Thanks.

I found one at Best buy but it had "min 300 Mhz needed".

So I will try to get it from some place else.

thanks.

I will go for a USB/firewire combo card.

I think I found I can get the stuff from tigerdirect.ca.

So after some struggle with my old PC I was able to install the card and joined the brotherhood of USB.

Next on the list Digital Camera.

I see Minolta Dimage and Cannon powershot are good on the price and features.

I would suggest you to go for the Canon. It provides a lot of manual controls. I have used A70 and A75 and they both are very good and come for a reasonable price.
