USB device "can perform faster"
I have Vista Ultimate installed on a Dell Dimension 4600 with 2.5GB
RAM. It has USB ports on both the front and rear. Occasionally Vista tells me my USB connection can perform faster and shows a display with "Intel 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller" and "Intel 82801 USB2 Enhanced Host Controller", "Generic USB Hub" and similar descriptions. Apparently I have stuff (primarily, my external HD) plugged into a low-performance USB port rather than the one on the 'USB2 Enhanced Host Controller'. Unfortunately I see no way to discern the difference, externally. Can someone provide some guidance or suggestions? I'm technically literate but stuck on this. Thanks in advance. -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL |

USB device "can perform faster"
Dell's website should have a quick guide to show which ports
are the high speed ones,,,,,,,, I suspect any grouped in 4 to be such. "Chris Cowles" wrote in message ... I have Vista Ultimate installed on a Dell Dimension 4600 with 2.5GB RAM.
