It's been my experience on a wide array of computers that USB works at random whenever it feels like it and cause all kinds of BS problems, whereas the old ports just friggin' work. The weirdest problem is an HP machine at the office that will not POST if a USB keyboard is plugged into it. Usually. Every now and then it will, but after that it's a total crap-shoot as to whether or not the keyboard will respond.
Therefore I use the adapters to plug my USB peripherals into the old-fashioned but CONSISTENTLY FUNCTIONAL ports. No noticeable difference, aside from not having to worry about whether or not my keyboard and mouse will work.
