Usb root hub, how much power per hub can i use ??

[Avid Gamer]

Just is this is confusing me, as i have my USB built in, and ive got a
USB card connected to my USB1 or USB2 connector on my mobo,on a Abit
NF7-S 2.0.

In my hardware settings say my second USB root hub, says i have, and i
quote -

D-link DSL 200 USB ADSL Modem(Wan) 500 mA
Generic USB HUB (4 ports) 0 mA
MicroSoft Sidewinder Force FeedBack 2 100 mA. this is the one
connected to the usb card on usb01 or 02


Is this OK as this is confusing me, you only get 500 mA per port, is a
port the same as a hub ?, on my old mobo is was easy to see how much
you had on each port ?

Thanks for any help to get me to understand this.

Thanks.

A bus powered hub (no powerpack) can only use the total 500mA that it gets
from it's parent port. A self powered hub (with powerpack) should provide
500mA to each port.

So how does what i showed you look is that ok ?

Yea, it's fine. Any USB ports coming directly off your computer (either at
the I/O shield or from an add-on card) can supply the full 500mA to each
port.

I have not noticed any problems with my Adsl modem or anything ,
just checking.


Just onl my old board they were grouped different, not together, as
they are not pluged into the same place, on on a card and the other on
the intergrated mobo, just confused to see them grouped together
