600826	2007-10-12 00:23:00	Hi Guys My new motherboard an MSI K9 Platinum has three USB jumper pins on it. They are numbered 1, 2 and 3. I want to connect my top USB ports to the motherboard. Does it matter which jumper pins I use ? Why do they have 3, as each handles 2 usb ports plus the four on the back of the computer. That seems quite a few USBs ! Regards Digby	Digby (677)

Regards Digby Shouldnt matter which one you connect the wires to. Just MAKE SURE (if the USB connector/s you're connecting, have separate connectors), you connect the wires to the right pins! Is this the K9 SLI Platinum AMD mobo ? If it is, then yup, looks like it supports up to 10 USB ports	Speedy Gonzales (78)

600829	2007-10-12 02:27:00	Really bee? I have 5 in the back, two on the back bottom, and two up top (only one working) and I have 4 still open, I can't even think of anything else I need, I guess if you add a USB Printer (I have an LPT one still lmao) a camera, webcam, and something else you may need additional ports. but jeez... Also, the Motherboard Documentation usually has a setup guide, i have an MSI K8NGM2-FID motherboard	DigitalMessiah (7649)

Also, the Motherboard Documentation usually has a setup guide, i have an MSI K8NGM2-FID motherboard I know but damn it adds up:lol: I have 2 printers, a wireless mouse/kb, one pocket PC, one PDA, one for my MP3 player, one for the digital camera... I only have 6 I think and I don;t use the one in front as it too dangerous so yeah, really running out:D	beeswax34 (63)
