ok i need a new USB 2.0 add in card but I already have 2 USB sockets (USB 1.1) on the front on the case i'd like to use for mp3 players etc. The prob is the case sockets are connected to 4 wires each which currently plug into this USB "jumper" like connectors on the motherboard.

Most USB card's have internal USB series-A female connectors. How do I connect these 2 USB jumper pins to the internal socket on the card?

Is it easier to get a card with 1 or 2 internal sockets - for the front case sockets?
 
this card has internal pins according to the pics. Only thing I don't like is that it uses an Ali chipset, I prefer NEC chipsets.

I need one with at least 3 or 4 round the back...i want a decent chipset too..

is there not a wiring guide anywhere where i can convert the sockets?

You need a USB expansion card with internal headers (like the connections in your hand) in addition to external ports. Keep searching.


I found some for you. :) The one posted by Mr45 will work as well (although NEC chips seem to have fewer issues).
Here are some that appear to have internal headers:
