I have this motherboard: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/mv2/

On the description, it says:

"Up to seven USB 1.1 ports or up to 5 USB 2.0 ports".

Is this talking about the maximum amount of USB plug-ins I can have running?

I currently have five USB connections on my PC, and I think all of them but one are 1.1. If I were to go buy a seven port 2.0 hub, would I be able to eventually run seven USB 2.0 hardware pieces off of it, or is that exceeding the limit that the m-board can handle? On the hub, it brags of beign able to allow you like 256 usb connections. What is all this talk about how many connections I am allowed?

Another question: What should I buy if I were to buy a usb hub? I know I need more than four, as I currently have five operational USB connections. I could make do with fuor if I have to. What name brand and all am I to look for? I know that I should buy the hub as an USB 2.0, because it is backwards convertable...so my 1.1s will work on it, and it allows for upgrades.
