Installed USB2 Card

I just installed a USB2.0 PCI card to my PC running on FC4 and now the 
PC is not behaving. It's very slow and it locks when I try to get a 
console while in KDE (Ctrl-Alt-Fn). Is there some module I need 
installed? I now use USB 1.1 without problems (built in to the ATX 
motherboard). Or could my PC be too slow for USB 2? It's an AMD K6-II 
550MHz w/ 640MB RAM, which is old but has been fast enough for me to 
this point.

If I am reading dmesg correctly, Linux is detecting USB 2. When I 
plugged an ipod shuffle to the new card, the ipod came up as a removable 
drive but the entire machine was crawling at about a 100Mhz speed.

Any helpful tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John.
