How to set up USB with Intellimouse

[FrozenLiquidity]

How do I get an Intellimouse to use the USB port? Does the USB port offer higher performance than the PS/2 port?

Thanx, FrozenLiquidity

I guess I'm too lazy to figure it out for myself

1-Turn off the system.
2-Unplug the green USB to PS/2 converter.
3-Stick the USB plug into the USB on the back of your system.
4-Turn on the system.
5-Feel good using the USB mouse!

Very simple setup. PS/2 is not hot swapable. Won't give too much more performance and it will be suceptable to slowdown more often when the system is being taxed. It will free up an IRQ.
