Thanks for the rapid reply !
Did you Read The Friendly Manual? Most have a "specifications" section. If it just says "USB" not "USB 2.0" you have 1.x.
Yes I did read the manual... saying just "USB" without version specifics.
(isn't it usualy annoying when they don't put a version number?)
I suppose (as you sugested) this definately means *not* 2.0.
.... and this is all I needed to know.
again, many thanks for your help.
P.S.
The Mobo is a 2002 Gigabyte 6VTX
