Dell Again

Aida is a very good freeware program that a lot of folks here use. Try it.

Thanks to Bob I found out some interesting things. Two of my PCI slots have USB! cards in them, so all I have to do is switch one for a USB2 card.
Also found out that my hard drive is a Seagate Barracuda ATA IV 80021 80GB which isn't bad for two and a half years ago. I didn't know that ATA HD were made back then.
Ran a benchmark on my Pentium 4 1.90 and got 2349 Memory read and 1040 memory write. These were in the upper range so I am guessing that it isn't bad. Maybe I can put off changing my motherboard and CPU for awhile.
Bob thanks again bud for all your help, Ed.

Well both my new printer and scanner call for USB 2. That is the only reason I am doing this. My scanner wasn't working properly and the printer was just too slow. Now that it is all tax deductible the money isn't as much of a problem as before.
Bob did you know that they made ATA hard drives that long ago?

I think it will make a big difference in external hds, cd roms, cameras, and flash drives.

IDE has been around for quite some time. ATA and IDE are really the same:
