you can get them from computer shops / maplin etc.

you have a card slot in the side of the laptop?  you get get usb2 cards that will plug into that and give you the newer, faster standard (yourold ones will remain usb1 though.

can be a hell of a speed increase, depends on what you are plugging in, and how much you use them to decide if it is worth it.

Depending on the make/model does it need the driver reinstalling off the setup disk.

Normally there is more than just 1 USB port.  Some times there is one on the side as well as on the back.
