W7 Ultimate 64 and DT cables?

[vale46]

Hi all, thanks fro reading.
I have 2 pc's both running windows 7 ultimate 64bit and i want to connect them via a usb cable but i have read that it needs to be a special data one with a microchip in the middle of it.
All the ones i can see on the net all mention working with certain OS's except W7 so please can anyone direct me to a usb male to male data cable that is compatible with my OS cos i am out or ideas for looking.

Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

Vale.

P.S. would be nice if its a UK based retailer as its where i live, but if needs must lol

why usb. you can use LAN cables and have faster data transfer speeds

LAN ? never concidered that ? i will check the plug connector to see if i can use them ;p cheers.

Mmmmm cant do it that way as my lan ports are used by ethernet cables. Thanks anyhow...think usb is the direction, got loads of them ports spare
