USB

[Guest]

How can I determine if my computer's USB ports are USB 1 or USB 2? I have a
Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz running XP Pro. Thanks in advance.

You may test for presence of USB 2.0 ports using a tiny little utility,

Thank you Venkatesh. Turns out I only have USB 1. Time to replace my
motherboard.

You could buy a cheap USB 2.0 PCI card instead.

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

An alternative solution (if you don't want to run unknown VBScript files on
your computer though I'd trust Kelly completely) would be to just open your
device manager, open up the USB section, and if it's USB 2.0 it will say
"Enhanced" in there.

or just buy a quality USB 2.0 card (maybe a combo USB
2.0/Firewire).
