my only thought is do they come with a power cord? is one needed? is it better to have one versus not having a seperate power cord?

Larry, 1:4 Hub: I'm using a Linksys hub with all 4 slots loaded. No problems. Needs no external power. Gottfried

Larry:
OEM's are not usually generous with USB ports. One of my 2 year old Dell's had 4 USB 1.4. I added a 4 port USB 2.0 card as a better solution than a hub and have all the ports I require. Installation of the card was very simple and took about 10 minutes.
