My System ...ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+....I purchased this, Anker Uspeed PCI-E to USB 3.0 2 Port Express Card, with 1 USB 3.0 20-pin Connector and 5V 4 Pin Male Power and USB 3.0 3.5 inch Front Panel with 2 USB 3.0 Ports Hub [20 Pin Connector & 2ft Adapter Cable]..the card uses a VIA Chipset
I used the latest driver install package for windows 7 64 bit and in device manager it shows as working properly but when I connect anything to the 2 ports on card or 2 ports on front of PC they are not recognized .. Is there another add on card that would be compatible? I realize that my system is dated but has served me well and cant afford to build a new system

Could you please state your full systems specs inclusive of your case and powersupply? Have you populated the PCI-E x1 card in an available PCI-E x1 slot? If so then try and place it on the black PCI-E X16 slot and see if things get moving again. It'd help us further if we knew how you've populated your expansion slots on your motherboard as the motherboard manual shows that some of your slots are shared. Seeing your system is dated, I'm assuming the front panel connectors are also USB2.0 in which case you'll need to pick up something like this.
