Great response everyone. I only have a PCIe-1 slot free, I could get a
USB card for that slot but I am convinced it is a SB700/USB problem.
There is not definitive answer but after reading 100's of pages on
similar problems, the ones solved where with a new USB controller.

What SB chipset should I be looking for ? nforce430 ? VIA..
