Plugging the two problematic devices directly into the PC work. So before buying another PCI card I have the following questions:

: Most USB devices do not work well on a hub. For port expansion, you are better off with a PCI USB adapter card. I think that you're overtaxing the USB bus. Look here:

So an adapter has a Host Controller on the card? In other words does it have more intelligence and processing abilities than that of a Hub? Should I look for those chip sets listed on this page on the new PCI card I intend to purchase?

My PCI slots are tight, couldn't I just use one of the approved hubs (mine is a D-Link) and plug it into the Intel 8801aa PC provided slot?
