Usb?

[N.U.G.]

whatup peeps,

I'm just wondering how many USB slots I should get on my new PC. I know I'll need one for my MIDI keyboard and maybe one for a USB flash drive.

1. Can I even get more than 2 usb slots on a PC or is that the maximum?
2. What music related things may I need USB slots for?

I don't have much knowledge in this area so any advice is great.

holla

Make sure you get at least 4 usb slots, You may also need them for non-music peripherals such as a mouse,qwerty/azerty keyboard ,printer,modem etc ... so 4 is a minimum ...

peace,

I have 4, 2 front and 2 back. You can use them for midi controllers, midi interfaces, soundcards, flash ram etc...so as phil delicately put it...4 is a minimum.

4 is the standerd in todays computers, but shit why not buy a hub to go with it?

just remember usb works on bandwith and the more stuff u have going in usb the slower things become.

make sure that you get usb 2.0 ports! for most mainboards you can buy additional slots.

yep, will do - good looking out.

Also if anyone is interested in finding out more about USB I came across an informative website called;

They've even got a forum there where you can post questions and such.
