Connecting External Synthesizer to USB Port on Intel D Motherboard

After changing the SoundCard to SB Audigy for Vista compatibility, I have lost the gameport on the SounCard which I was using earlier for MIDI-IN & MIDI-OUT to my external synthesizer, through a connector having two 5-pin DIN plugs. Since Gameports and MIDI ports are changing to USB, I am wondering if I could connect my synsthesizer to the USB port on the motherboard and if I can, would I need to hunt for a Vista-compatible MIDI driver or whether the RealTech drivers provided along with the motherboard would have the MIDI handling capability. Is the USB port to two 5-pin DIN plugs connector a standard one I can buy in a computer shop?
