you will want to add a PCI card that has about 4 USB ports... They are about 300-400 a piece at ebay.in.

There are two USB revisions... 1.1 and 2.0. The speed of 1.1 is 12 Mbps and that of 2.0 is 480 Mbps. Note that its bits, not bytes.

Go for the 2.0 card. If your system does not support it, it will run as 1.1 by default. Its backward compatible. Anyway, i doubt you will get a 1.1 card nowdays!

810e mobos usually come with 2 USB ports. They might not be connected externally from the mobo. So before you buy one do check. BTW they are USB 1.

Oh yes! he's right! Check it in your manual. I think it has 2 USB 1.1 Ports on the M/B. You just need to get a bracket to use the USB ports (should be around 50 bucks). Do check it out!

Bracket is just the USB socket which connects to the motherboard. I doubt your board will have 4 ports. If you need 4 ports, go for the USB card.
