I'm rebuilding my Gigabyte GA-7VAX based system because, as a development
PC, I've
installed so much crap over the year that it's taking forever to start-up.
Anyway, basic installation of Windows XP Pro with SP2 carried out with all
USB 2 devices unplugged. I've taken an image of this basic set-up.
I've got all six USB ports available: the two on the motherboard plus the
extra four connected to a four port panel on the back of the PC. When I plug
in my high-speed four port USB hub in, Windows XP reports "The device can
perform faster". When I click the button to display which high speed ports
I've got, it lists all six of the ports described above![Smile :-) :-)](/styles/default/custom/smilies/smile.gif)
The motherboard is USB 2 so what's going on? Why does Windows XP says "The
device can perform faster" and then go on to indicate that the USB ports
I've plugged it into are already high speed...
Got me flummoxed <grin>
BTW - I've not installed any Gigabyte specific drivers yet. Windows XP seems
to support all the devices "out of the box". I only tend to install
motherboard drives if there's a problem. There isn't a USB 2 driver for
Windows XP anyway AFAIK.
Not critical - just annoying...
Thanks, Rob.
