Howdy,

A quick USB question, I was looking in my systems specs (Via SiSOftware Sandra), and I noticed my USB Driver version was reported as Version 1.10. What does this mean? I am unfamiliar with what versions mean in USB, and just want to make sure I am getting the USB 2.0 that I my board (Asus P4C800) specifies.

Thanks,
Dave

USB 1.1 has a 12mbit maximum transfer rate, USB 2.0 has a 480mbit maximum transfer rate. Obviously USB 2.0 is the more desirable one.

Hmm, not good. Then why does ASUS say the P4C800 comes with USB 2.0, but the Version reported by Sandra is Version 1.10? Is there anything I can do?

I noticed that while the version says 1.10 the Speed says 48Mhz. I would assume that means 2.0 speed?

Thanks,
Dave

I don't know anything about that MB, but there's a simple way to check. Open Device Manager, and expand the USB controller section. If the Root Hub has USB 2.0 or Enhanced in the description, it's USB 2.0
