Will using a USB to PCI adapter take stress off my mobo since I'm not using the USB ports on the mobo?
why do you ask, i wouldnt imagine any slowdowns are due to using onboard USB...
Well I was told that using a sound card rather than the onboard sound reduces stress on the mobo and I didn't know if it was the same for USB.
It doesn't have anything to do with stress on the motherboard, it just uses a bit more CPU power, nothing noticeable. Even less so with a USB add-on card.Well I was told that using a sound card rather than the onboard sound reduces stress on the mobo and I didn't know if it was the same for USB.
