Add USB ports

Hello,

I have an old Dell PE 1600 SC server that I would like to add some USB ports to.  I don't know if I can add the 3.0 version, but I believe at least 2.0 would be better than the version 1.1 that is currently on board.  I am just not sure of which adapter to buy.  If anyone has experience with this older Dell server and USB adapter add-ons, your advice would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks,
Cheese

Is PCIe compatible with PCI-X?  I didn't think they were?
I know you can't plug a PCI-X card into a PCI-E slot but can you do vice versa?

saige,

Looks good to me.  Has me slightly worried by a couple of the reviews, but most are good.  I will report back when I receive the item and plug her in.

Thanks
Worked like a charm.  Thank you.
