Applications
PCI USB 2.0 expansion cards like this one were a popular upgrade for desktop computers built in the late 1990s through mid-2000s, when many motherboards shipped with only USB 1.1 ports or had too few USB headers to meet growing peripheral demands. By installing a card like this into a standard PCI slot, users could add high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity for external hard drives, printers, scanners, cameras, and other peripherals. The NEC USB controller chipset used here was one of the most common and well-regarded USB 2.0 controllers of the era, known for broad OS driver support across Windows, Linux, and Mac. These cards remain useful today in older workstations or legacy industrial PCs that still use PCI slots but need additional or upgraded USB ports.
This CompUSA PCI-USBNEC101-5P-2 USB 2.0 5-Port PCI Card appears to be in good used condition. The card itself shows a green sticker on the PCB but is otherwise clean with no visible damage to the board, components, or connectors. The original retail blister packaging is present, and the box label indicates the package includes the driver CD and user's manual — please check the photos to confirm what is included with this specific unit.
