USB ports

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.
