Hi,

I want to upgrade my old machine (anno 2001), which is running OS: Xp pro
sp2, to USB 2.0.

Mainboard: MS-6330 v.5.X based on chipset: VIA KT133A (VT8363A & VT82C686B)

I have been searching for a suitable card and have come up with this, but I
am not sure:

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=107412

My worry is: Is it compatible with the VIA chipset? Does anyone out there
have any experience with this card and VIA? I realize VIA is not held in
high regards, so I fear the installation might cause compatibility problems.
Am I being too cautious?
Are other cards you would like to recommend?

I can state that on one of my PCs (P3) which is based on a VIA
chipset, I successfully got a Belkin USB 2.0 adapter to work. As for
any hardware upgrade, any motherboard can any any number of problems.
