When I first installed this card, my computer wouldn't boot. Tiger replaced the card and the new one started doing very strange things. When some of my programs stopped working, I took out the card and the computer works fine again. Today I orded a Ultra 6 port USB pci card.

I was hesitant to buy another Sabrent device after I got a faulty external enclosure from them and their technical support was unknowledgable (to put it kindly).
I should have trusted my instinct. After installing this PCI USB interface, my computer started having problems. I had the BSOD appearing, and Windows XP couldn't open Disk Management. The machine would also hang when trying to shut down/restart, too.
On top of all of that, the USB interface didn't recognize most of my USB devices. It didn't recognize my optical wireless mouse, wireless network adapter, or thumb drives. The only thing it ever recognized was a USB hub, but what good is a hub when nothing plugged in it works? By ''not recognize'' I mean it wouldn't even acknowledge that I plugged something in.
I'd return the card, but shipping back to Tiger Direct likely costs more than the card.
Trust me, buy name brand -- stick with IoGear or Ultra cards that have both USB and Firewire and only cost $12 more.

12 Easy Steps to Installing a PCI Adapter
Card
The simple task of installing a PCI adapter card into a desktop computer
takes only a few minutes. All you need to complete the job is our handy
step-by-step, photo-illustrated guide and a Philips screwdriver. Please
note that there are many PCI adapters that can be installed in your computer
system. Therefore, this brief guide only covers the physical installation
of the card itself. To install peripheral attachments you will need to consult
the installation directions that come with the adapter card.
What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
