My ASUS P5Q should have USB 2.0 ports, at least all of the 6 on the rear panel, but using some with my Linksys WUSB54G makes WinXP give me shit about not being 2.0 ports and how I should check the list to use another.

However it's not east to tell which ports are which.


It would be cool if there was a program which presented USB ports and devices in a hierarchy, VISUALLY and showed you what was where.

Or at the very least, I need something that spells out very clearly which ports are 1.1 and which are 2.0

Just seeing an "enhanced" controller isn't helping.

Go there, grab that 10MB Zip file. Download it to your machine, then use that to test the transfer speeds to and from a USB device in the ports. If it takes longer than 2-3 seconds to transfer it either way, it's probably using 1.1 mode. USB 2.0 shouldn't take more then 2-3 seconds, either way.

I'm not aware of any tools aside from USB port/chip diagnostics from the manufacturer's themselves sooo...

For me I just grab a 10MB test file like that one or maybe a 50MB like this one:

And do my own testing. Since most of us know that USB 1.1 tops out about roughly 900KB/s, it takes roughly 15 seconds to do a 10MB file transfer, or 70-80 seconds to do the 50MB file transfer. USB 2.0 should easily be inside 2-3 seconds for the 10MB, and around 10-15 for the 50MB.

Good luck...
 
found a trial for "advanced USB Port monitor"

Now I know which are which but I have a new problem so I'll make a new thread since you can't change thread titles.
