Hello Implantsrus As you have not specified your computer operating system I will assume you are using Windows XP, if this is not the case please ask for clarification. 1) Press Start 2) Go to Run 3) Enter devmgmt.msc in the box that appears (alternatively you can run Device Manager through the Control Panel) 4) Expand the USB section of the list by clicking on the + next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers 5) If any of the items in the list has "Enhanced" in the name then you have USB2 otherwise you have USB1.1. The standard for USB was altered in April 2000 and became standard in PC's after this date, if your computer is only a year or two old you probably have USB2. "USB 2.0 (High-speed USB) provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications and has a data transmission speed 40 times faster than USB 1.1. To allow a smooth transition for both consumers and manufacturers, USB 2.0 has full forward and backward compatibility with original USB devices and works with cables and connectors made for original USB, too." http://computer.howstuffworks.com/usb6.htm If you have any further questions regarding this answer please ask for clarification, I am here to help you. |
