A USB host controller is a piece of hardware. It is usually incorporated into the southbridge in your motherboard. As such, it cannot be downloaded. If you want to upgrade a low-speed USB controller to a high speed controller you will have to buy a new high-speed controller. Changes are the old controller is not removeable and not upgradeable.

Typically it is a usb port 2.0.
127 USB devices are supported by one host controller.
USB Will allow up to 127 devices per host controller. Usually, a host controller has more than one USB port. The host controller will only allow 127 devices in total (including hubs), so you can not have 127 per port.
Host controller
USB: Universal Serial Bus. A standard device that connects to a host computer
If you have Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) then you can add USB 2.0 drivers to enable the USB host controller to operate at USB2.0 speeds. Windows XP Service Pack 1 is released with USB1.1 (slow) host controller device drivers. From SP2 and onwards USB2.0 is supported by default. See the related link for more info about why USB 2.0 operate at USB 1.1 (slow) speed.
If you're using older drivers you won't be able to use high speed. Check to see if there are newer drivers available for your USB ports.
You plug the controller directly into the PlayStation with a USB cable and hold the PS button until it connects.

The Previous answer was incorrect. The gamestop ps3 controller should have come with a usb reciever for the wireless controller to connect to our ps3. When you plug it in it will start flashing a red light. just hit the "HOME" button on your controller and it will connect to the PS3 via that wireless usb connector.
