Have installed a 4 port pci USB 2.0 card in my 700 athlon computer, it appears to be installed and working , but will not transfer above 2mbs ,which is not USB 2.0 speed .

Any ideas?

I'm not sure W98SE supports USB2

Go HERE to check!!!

Looks like you need to update your drivers...

Snippet from Website:
Which operating systems support USB 2.0? Add Your Notes
Microsoft has released the official USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP and Windows 2000. The version is 5.1.2600. The software is available on-line at Windows Update website. (If you don't have a USB 2.0 card installed in your system, Windows Update won't list the USB 2.0 driver as an update.)

The software company is still considering USB 2.0 support for Windows ME, but it already has decided not to bring USB 2.0 to Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE. If you have Windows 98, you will have to rely on 3rd party USB 2.0 support from USB card manufacturer.
