Solve : How do I identify USB 2.0 Ports on PC?? |
|
Answer» I would like to know how to determine which physical ports on a PC are USB 2.0, or enhanced, and which ports are standard USB ports. mmm.. try checking this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1174. Probably it could help. Why would you send him to Apple? Quote physical ports on a PCQuote from: Quantos on June 25, 2009, 03:05:06 PM Why would you send him to Apple?No. I just want him to see that content of the page. Not necessarily to send him to apple. Fair enough. I must admit that I was quite surprised to see MS support on an Apple site though. That must really grab Steve Jobs by short and curlies.Perhaps I wasn't clear. I have two ports on the front of my tower type computer. There are two ports on the front and four ports on the back, presumably attached directly to the motherboard. I don't have the motherboard manual, as Karnac suggested (thank you, by the way). I looked at the apple website and I didn't see any thing new to me. Looking at the Device Manager doesn't tell me what port to plug into. I'm looking for a simple method to identify the physical port. Do I plug in, say a jump DRIVE, then LOOK at the Device Manager for a connection? Is there a freeware/shareware/purchased software program that would identify the types of ports? I have asked my company's geeks this question and no one I know can find an answer. Thanks for the help and replies. TundrawalkerIf you plug a thumbdrive in- windows will complain if you plug it into a 1.1 port. It won't say anything if you plug it in a 2.0 port, however.Try Everest You'll also be ABLE to get a motherboard model. http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.htmlIf you see the message that the device can run faster then that is a 1.1. port.Bet my bottom dollar the rear are 2.0 and the front are 1.1....... Quote from: Tundrawalker on June 25, 2009, 02:07:53 PM I sometimes see a message bubble that says, in effect, my printer would print faster if it were plugged into a USB 2.0 port. Usually if you see this message, you've plugged the device into a USB 1.1 port. Or, in some cases, this means your motherboard CHIPSET drivers are not installed. |
