Default USB 2.0 on desktop?
Hello: I believe that I have USB 1.1 on my current desktop (it is pretty old). I am running XP Pro and have just installed SP3. How can I upgrade to USB 2.0?

Yeah sorry, the difference is from the physical component so no software will be able to help you with this. Maybe whilst changing, you might considering getting a firewire port aswell, to save the hassle in the future
