RangerClay Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 How many USB ports are there on most computers? I have two and they are full. I want to plug in a card reader but I do not have a slot for it. What should I do? Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: Computer question Pretty sure wal mart has them for about $15-20 now. Our new computer has 6 total. Got a belkin usb hub that adds four in the desk drawer here, but it is a usb 1.1 hub not 2.0. Our old compaq had 4 after I added two internally.

Jeramie Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: Computer question Yep, add on. However, as arrow said, check your machine. A lot of compters have them on both the back and front due to the fact that most everything is going USB these days. They put them on the front for cameras and such and on the back for your mouse, printer, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
