you cannot change the built in usb ports. however if that laptop has a
pcmcia slot you can buy a pc card to plug in that gives the usb 2 ports and
even firewire ports if desired, orangemicro makes on which i use on a old
presario 1200.

Thanks Oldcrusty,

I'll try getting a PCMCIA card that has the USB 2.0 ports.

But, as Oldcrusty said, do you have an available slot? If not, no use buying
the card because there will be no place to put it.
