You'll find that the E just specifies something like Eurodocsis (which is the cable connection and not the USB), it won't effect the USB output which probably will require the same drivers for the whole series..

If laptop is older i would have though it would have an ethernet port. All my mprevious laptops up to around 10 years ago definately had one. Ditch the USB connection it is not capable of Virgin's high speeds. (I don't know it's exact limits but i'm sure i've heard it will struggle with even a 10Mb connection)

I have a laptop which is about 6 years old (Panasonic toughbook) we stick to it as we don't need the fast speed for what we use it for (data logging of ECU data and reconfiguration on the move) at motorsport events.. It has no ethernet or wifi yet is a very expensive laptop..

As for USB if it's USB1 then yes you;d get about 6-8Mb, USB 2 is fine at 50Mb+
