Summary: A snap with XP Pro SP1
Review: Didn't have to do a think except seat it in place and turn it on. XP Pro SP1 recognized it on reboot and had everything installed without me lifting a finger. I'm using it right now with a scanner and printer hooked up and it works great.

Summary: Warning to older Mac users!!!
Review: Don't take the fact that it works with Mac OS 8.6 to mean that it will work with all Macs! After installing it in my PPC8500 with Mac OS 9.1 I found that although it was registering as installed it wouldn't function as a USB device. After calling tech support I learned that only Beige or Blue and White G3 and newer machines ran this card! This is not mentioned anywhere on the box!!! It only mentions that USB 2.0 works with OS X only. I'm never purchasing from Iogear again!

Summary: The fine print for XP Users
Review: I bought this card because the PC I assembled was quickly running out of USB Ports for my peripherals. The other reason was I wanted a USB 2.0 card, which was claimed to be much faster than USB 1.1. When I checked comatibility, I saw that it was compatible with Windows XP, so I bought it. Only when I installed it, did I come to know that I needed to upgrade to XP Service Pack 1 in order for XP to be compatible with this card. This was an upgrade that I did not want, but was forced to do becuase of compatibility issues. So unless you plan to upgrade or if your system came pre-installed with XP SP1, you may want to think again. BTW, this is not IOGear's fault, but Windows XP (Home and Professional) is not compatible with USB 2.0 unless you upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 1.

Summary: Very nice PCI card!
Review: I bought this PCI card because I was getting a external hard drive that used USB 2.0. The installation instructions were very good and when I turned my computer on and inserted the driver cd everything installed without having to do a thing. I would recommend this product to anyone that is upgrading there USB.

Summary: Easy To Install and Use
Review: I Checked the Dell site and printed out Safety and Installation instructions (after checking the card's compatibility with my computer and XP system)
The IOGEAR PCI card installed easily and was recognized right away. Noticed a definite increase in speed with the new USB 2 port. I'm ordering another one for my other PC.

Summary: Worth the money. Solved my problem and makes life easier.
Review: I got the card to add off board USB support to my Dell computer. It had difficulty handling a 4 port USB hub attached to the computer supplied USB ports. The card went in with no problem. The instructions worked as provided for Windows XP Home Edition.Once installed, the goal was to move a 4 port USB 1.1 hub off the main ports and attach a CD-RW that could take advantage of the USB 2.0 speed. All of this was done simply and effectively. I'd get use product again in an instant.

Summary: Works, but does it really
Review: I got this card, installed on Dell Optiplex GX1p with XP-Pro. Did not recognize the card. So, installed the latest driver from the IOGear web site. Everything looked till I tried using a USB 2.0 external hard drive. Windows XP notifies me the USB connection is not USB 2.0. When I tried putting the computer in the hibernate mode, USB 2.0 controller prevented from doing so. Only thing I could do was to totally shut it down. For those of you who are all very happy, check it is USB 2.0 or USB 1.0.

Summary: USB all the way
Review: I installed the card in a matter of minutes and it was up and running. This makes everything easier since I recently bought a new printer, scanner, card reader and finally found a USBa/m--USBa/m cable to hook up my digital camera to USB. My webcam is also USB so I've got plenty of ports.

Summary: Unusual Problem
Review: I purchased the Iogear GIC250U and installed it with no difficulty. However, when I shut down my PC, about 90% of the time, there is a heavy pulse that activates my Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick and some of these pulses badly jar the joystick. I contacted Iogear and they sent me a new driver for Windows ME. However, I still have the problem and Iogear has told me to return the card because they said that there may be an incompatability problem. The problem only happens on the Iogear card and not with the USB ports in my PC. I will try a different brand of USB card. You may want to see my review under the Adaptec AUA-5100 USB 2.0 6 port card in a few days or so.
