Re: USB Confusion. Please Help =S

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It says 500 mA available per port. That should be enuf to tell me its 2.0
right? I did get a funny message saying use USB 2.0 ur crap wil benifit more
but it hasnt been consistent in bringing it up. That first was the last i saw
of it. The motherboard manual tels me the front 2 are 2.0 but says nothing of
the version of the back four... as i said

I dont really understand why i have so many other entries tho. Backwards
1.1? It doesnt make sense to me but it sounds like these ports im using are
2.0 so I think ill quite here and say im happy lol
Thanks for your help everyone
Much Appriciated
