SiS 7001 USB Device Driver?

I have two SiS 7001 PCI to USB Host Controller that are both are USB 1.0. Is it possible to change it to USB 2.0? My cousin downloaded a USB 2.0 driver but it didn't work. Any help?

    USB 2.0 is a hardware upgrade, not software. you cannot do anything to your host controller to make it USB 2.0. you will need to purchase a new 2.0 host controller.

    If the card hardware is USB 1, then you have to change that piece of hardware. Loading the wrong driver for the card you have will only result in a potential problem with that card. ie. It might stop working.

    Buy a new card. USB 2 cards are super cheap... You might also want to wait for USB 3.0. It will be coming out fairly soon.
