As long as the card supports UHCI, OHCI, or EHCI (USB 2.0 is EHCI), you 
should be fine.  I don't know of any USB card that doesn't support one 
of these standards, so you should be fine.  If things don't work out for 
you, contact me off list and I'll sell you my NEC USB 2.0 PCI card- my 
new MB coming Tues. afternoon has 6 USB 2.0 ports onboard so I have no 
need for an extra four.
