Front USB 2.0 ports questions

[nikko]

My case (a Raidmax mid-tower) has two front USB 2.0 connectors. Looks like there are two connectors coming from that part of the case. One is labeled USB 1 and the other is labeled USB 2. Where do I connect these on my Albatron mobo and do I need to jump through any other hoops to get them to work? Specifically, do I need to do anything in bios? Do I need to download anything in particular to get the 2.0 USB to work? Thanks.

Check ur manual It should have an expansion USB port somewhere on the mother board. The 2.0 will only work if ur motherboard is 2.0 compliant. You may need to find the setting in the bios to use 2 more usb ports nothing to hard. good luck

You'll need to have Service Pack 1 installed for XP in order to get full USB2.0 functionality. Your board does have extra connectors on it for USB ports to be plugged in; they seem to be located in two places near the front and rear of the AGP slot (very bad placement). Most likely nothing needs to be done in the BIOS to enable the extra ports, since they're all controlled by the same USB controller in the chipset.
