CAN I USE MY STANDARD USB PORT FOR USB 2 CD ROM? IS THERE A WAY TO UPGRADE TO USB 2? THANKS.

I'm not posistive, but I think the USB2 standard should be backward compatible so the drive should work fine.

You might check your motherboard manufacturer's website and see if a BIOS update is available that would upgrade the USB compatibility, but be VERY careful if you do update the BIOS, and make sure you have a definite reason to do so. It can lead to disaster...

Please avoid posting in ALL-CAPS. Thanks.

No. Well, you can use it, but only at USB 1.1 speed, if the device is able to operate at that speed.

Add a USB 2.0 controller card to your computer.
