Can anyone tell me if I can add extra USB ports to my Dell XPS- T450
My system only has two factory ports on back, both of which are in use.

Yes, you can add USB ports by installing a PCI USB card. You can even add USB 2.0 if you get the USB 2.0 version of one of these cards.

How hard is it to add that card?
I added a 'pigtail' to one of my slots...but, now would like to change it to a USB2...as I heard it is much faster.
Since I do a lot of photography...thought that would be ideal.
Thanks.

It is fairly easy to add a PCI card to a computer. If you tell us your system model, we can point you to document that tells you how to do it. Detailed instructions also usually come with the PCI card.
