VR-Zone takes a closer look at VIA's USB2Expressway

Intrigued by the VL811 hub that VIA debuted at CES back in January, VR-Zone have taken a closer look at how the technology works and what speed increases can be expected from USB 2.0 devices. Essentially this chip sits on a USB hub controller PCI card.

Read on for a full explanation.
