------------------

My computer is older (1 ghz Pentium 3) so I had to add a USB 2.0 PCI card in order to use USB 2.0.

There is an external WD hard drive attached that is fairly new, but it is extremely slow (3 MB/sec vs 35-40 MB/sec for internal drives) and I am wondering if there is a conflict between the USB 1.1 on the motherboard and the USB 2.0 card.

I thought I might disable the USB 1.1 through the device manager to see if that would help but it shows so many USB devices that I do not know which ones to disable. Is there a better way to do this or some way to tell which is which in the device manager?

Thanks

If it doesn't say it is USB 2 then it most likely is USB 1.1.

If you want to disable the onboard USB 1.1 go to the BIOS and find a Legasy USB setting an set it to off.
