Anyways, back on topic...
Its not so bad using the USB port when you have more than four connections... I have all of mine used, but the two on the front have my digital camera card reader and "disk-on-key" connected so I can just remove those easily if I need the connections, which I don't.
This weekend I hooked up my parents' old system to install some stuff on it before we gave it to my older brother and his kids, and I installed the mouse through the USB connection just temporarily. When the system started it didn't even see the mouse connected at all. But, when I changed the connection to the PS/2 port, the mouse worked fine. It just seemed rather odd to me, but I do have a few ideas as to why which I'm gonna test out when I go home this weekend hopefully. Its just that when I put this system together for myself my mouse worked right away and theirs didn't on a completely blank system except for the OS.

Yeah, I will never go back to a ball...I got a MS Intellimouse Optical USB 3 or 4 years ago...I loved it, but it had a few problems when I really got into gaming, it couldn't track fast enough. I was excited when I found out that the problem was solved with a 6,000 scans per second MS Optical upgrade.
For over the past year I've had the MS Intellimouse Optical USB 1.1 and it's served its purpose. I HATE the feel of the MS Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, but I want a mouse that is more customizeable. I finally got a chance (after the past 8 months or so) to check out the Logitech MX500, not gaming, but holding it in my hand...WOW, feel's better than any mosue I've ever used. I don't like big mice, but that one feels perfect and all the hardcore gamers say MX500/700 is the way to go...I don't want wireless so MX500 is for me.
Wow, USB>PS/2 any day for responsiveness...plugging my USB mouse into PS/2 makes the it feel like a ball to me purely because of the high latency difference between USB and PS/2...just feels so lagged.
If you're in the market for a new mouse, you HAVE to give the MX500 a feel, I LOVE it and am askign for one for Xmas. The MX700 is supposedly the exact same, but the right side of the mosue feels SLIGHTLY different to me...it doesn't have the same comfort for my ring finger for some reason.
