Hey Scott,
I believe that the Presario 900 has the older USB 1.1 standard. USB 1.1 transfers data at a maximum of 12 Mbps (Mega-bits per second). USB 2.0 has a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps.
You could add a USB 2.0 PCMCIA Card, if you have an available PCMCIA slot. The cards are probably around $25-$30. Just do a google search for "PCMCIA USB 2.0."
I had an older laptop with the same problem. I ended up getting a new laptop before I tried the PCMCIA card. I checked out the options, though, and it looks like a possible solution.
Guess this makes me a "technogeek"...
Best,
Robert A. Franco
