Hello everyone! :) Could anyone tell me where I can see on my notebook, if it has USB 1 or USB 2 ? Thanks for any help! :) Bye! :)

I think that it depends on the age of the notebook. I remember that USB2 came out... maybe April 2002... I don't know of any physical way to know the difference... maybe a call to the manufacturer help desk... or do a search on Google... for the technical specs.

In Device Manger USB 2.0 is stated as Enhanced USB Controller, if not enhanced no USB2.0, also you need at least Service pack1 to take advantage of USB2.0. I qoute: "UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) USB1.x is the original standard which was supported from Windows95B onwards. Then there was USB2.0, and it would appear that 2.0 devices are not always what they seem! and I quote "There was concern that people would NOT buy 1.1 peripherals to use with their 2.0 machines, so since 2.0 is a superset of 1.1, the names are now "2.0 High", "2.0 Full", and "2.0 Low" instead of "2.0", "1.1 High", and "1.1 Low". This is an extract from http://www.legge40.freeserve.co.uk/USB.htm which also mentions FireWire. There are three standard complient controllers: USB 1.x UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface) Intel, VIA USB 1.x OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) Compaq, Microsoft and National Semiconductor USB 2.x EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) "

Hi Download belarc advisor it will tell you all about your pc BOB

Ran BELARC on my ARMADA 7800 w/ XP PRO SP1. It shows "Compaq PCI to USB Open Host Controller". I guess that means USB 1.0. Is there any way to upgrade to 2.0?
