USB Headers

[kona]

Does anyone know what the purpose is of having two different internal USB headers is; each having a different voltage/current output:


USB56 rated @ +5v and +6v on this header
USB78 rated @ +7v and +8v on this header


Would it be a safe to assume ( yeah, yeah, yeah ... I know about the 'assume' thing!) that the USB78 header is for more voltage/current hungry peripherals e.g., a scanner, leaving USB56 for say, an optical mouse?

Both the ASUS P4C800E Deluxe as well as the P4P800 Deluxe mobos have the same configuration.

Just a guess. Does the board have both USB ports rated USB 1.0/1.1 and USB 2.0?

In the case of the P4C800E Deluxe, all internal USB headers are 2.0
