Add on USB2 laptop cards

kung fu guy

I have an older Powerbook G4 with usb1. I've managed to do without usb2 for a while. Do these add on usb2 laptop cards give you actual usb2 speeds? Can they handle power hungry devices like external drives and burners? Do they need to be powered? Like I need another power brick These card may look cheap but are expensive. $55 Can. Do they live up to their claims?
