My Compaq Presario 2166ae can detect it without any error. The M$winXP can recognize it correctly as an USB2 card without extra driver installation (I've seen several cases that some "USB2" cards are in fact merely USB cards which means FAKE). It was fine until I connected my MO onto the adapter and the whole system soon freezed up! There's no BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) and even 3-keys-hot-reboot didn't work. In case it's caused by the MO 1.3GB disk, I tried other 650MB and 230MB MO disks and even my thumb drive but still no lucks, so my drives and disks shouldn't be the source of the problem. How come it freezed as soon as I connected them on then?
"Something to do with its driver?" I thoght. Disabled the device, I tried the driver CD and replaced the default one in the windows. Still freeze. There's no resource conflict on my system. The problem wasn't even improved after updating the USB2 patch and driver for WinXP on M$'s website.
The website of both PB Technology and STLab are totally worthless as there're no useful information but price and features around this product. The latter even doesn't provide the driver and manual (there's no link for downloading).
It seems I'll have to rush back to the store and see what's wrong with this adapter.

USB2 blue... :(
As I'd picked, the USB2 adapter is still not available. How come is that?!
The RecycledTechnology's staff phoned some other stores if they'd got some stock with them, and finally there're some at PB Technology, which is on Anglesea street and two blocks away from LI.
Anyway, the one I got from the PB Tech is provided by STLab, 4 ports and VIA(!) Chipset (not NEC chip?!):
