| 542920 | 2007-04-21 06:47:00 | Ok my friends, I have a question, How do I know if my PC has a high-power 500 mA USB port? If this is possible to know, then how do I know wich one of the 8 USB ports in total (2 in the front and 6 on the back) are high-powered ones? Thanks in advance! | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 542921 | 2007-04-21 06:49:00 | All of them provide 500ma. As long as the mobo / system has USB 2 ports on it. And as long as SP2 is installed if u have XP, and SP4 if u have SP4. Look in device manager for an enhanced host controller entry, under USB controllers. If this is there you've got USB 2. |

| 542922 | 2007-04-21 06:51:00 | Ok, So there is no way to check which port has this hig-power?? I need one that really has this! | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 542923 | 2007-04-21 06:54:00 | Like I just said, they're all the same speed, and if theyre USB 2 ports, theyre faster than the old USB 1.1 And if SP2 or SP4 is installed, they'll run at USB 2 speed. Thats if u use USB 2 devices. If whatever you're plugging in is USB 1.1, it'll only run at USB 1.1 speed. |

| 542924 | 2007-04-21 06:54:00 | Why not end any confusion and just run a dynamically-powered USB hub? Takes all the guesswork out that way. |

| 542925 | 2007-04-21 06:55:00 | Ok I do have SP2 running and in fact its not the speed I need what I need is the power. How do I know if I have this USB 2.0? | JOYBEBA6679 (10686) | ||
| 542926 | 2007-04-21 06:58:00 | Did u READ the 2nd post?? The bottom line. Does the device you're going to plug in say its USB 2?? If it doesnt, it'll be USB 1.1 |

If it doesnt, it'll be USB 1.1 Yes the device I want to connect is 2.0. I mean it needs the high-power to charge the battery faster!. Thas why I need it, to charge the battery faster! |

| 542929 | 2007-04-21 07:04:00 | Um run what? Sorry I have no Idea of what you just said :S Its a powered USB hub, you can plug USB 2 devices into. However not all USB 2 devices like USB hubs. They will refuse to work properly, or not at all. |
