I purchased a 6 connect 2.0 usb card(4 ext. & 2 internal),since my older system has 1.1 USB.The card purchased from e-bay new said I could connect the 2 internal to the front ports on my computer. Is it possible? I also bought a external 2.0 USB 80G hard drive and a external 2.0 DVD writer. My system has 1.1 USB and thus the reason for the card purchase. Can anyone tell me if this will allow me to use the new devices I bought? Also will I be able to connect to the front USB sockets?The computer is a Compaq 2.7 gig w/512ddr memory, and 40 gig hard drive.

Without knowing the model number of the card or your pc i don't know if you can connect the internal port to the front or not. You have to look at the card manual and look at the connection to see if it can be done. Your add-on card is probably in a PCI slot. The external devices will works fine with the external usb ports.
