No, you will have to add what is called a USB card to one of your pci slots
to get usb 2.0 capability. Look at the pic in the link above. Your pci slots
are the ones with the number 19. You can get a usb pci card for $10 now.
Just plug it into your pci slot in the computer and you will have usb
capability.

From the ASUS manuel, it says that there are USB ports onboard. Depending
on the device you have, that's all that may be needed. Have you tried the
device on the onboard USB ports? Most USB2.0 devices are backwards
compatible.

If you have tried it and it doesn't work, you will have to go out and get a
USB2.0 card as the other poster mentioned

If your board is USB 2 compatible it would tell you on the Asus website,
which it doesn't. When the specifics say "USB" you can almost without a
doubt assume it is USB 1. However, here is how you can tell for sure. I
assume you are using Windows.

Whenever you plug a USB 2 device into an USB 1 port, a pop up will display
telling you that a high speed device is plugged into a low speed connection,
or something like that. So if you have a device you know for a fact is USB
2, then plug it in.

What I'm saying is that even if you have a USB 2 device, it'll work in a
plain jane USB port. If you don't care about speed, then why bother going
out and getting a USB 2 card? Also, there are USB 2 devices which don't
even take advantage of the speed....hence, a simple USB port will do.
