Question about USB 2.0 Regarding the faster USB connections, does anyone know if this requires the installation of a component inside the computer or simply download the software that's included with a burner with the faster USB speed? 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

USB 2.0 is a hardware revision to USB and requires different hardware, thus software will not speed USB 1.0 up to USB 2.0 speeds.

I hope... Anyway, the USB controller is probably built into your logic board and cannot be replaced. You will most likely need a USB 2.0 PCI card to gain USB 2.0 functionality.

In order to utilize USB 2.0, you'll have to purchase hardware like a PCI Card. If you have a laptop, you can purhcase a PCMCIA card.
USB 2.0 takes better advantage of the large amount of bandwith on a Computer's PCI bus. For the average computer, you'll want something like this: http://www.compusa.com/pr...ode=290177 For the average laptop, you'll want something like this: http://www.compusa.com/pr...e=50155696 Why would you want USB 2.0? You can attach more devices to it (link together with hubs), and you get bunches more speed than USB 1.1. That means a thing like an external CD Writer may be limited to burn at 4x speed on USB 1.1, but with USB 2.0 it can burn at 32x. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |

And FireWire (IEEE 1394) is FAR superior to USB 2.0 if you want real performance. SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Actually, Firewire and USB 2 are both on even levels when it comes to the average consumer. While the tech specs have Firewire with a slight edge, I don't know anybody who uses that sort of bandwidth on a day to day basis.
In the end, Firewire and USB are out to put SCSI in the ground and I ain't mad at that. I hate retaining the SCSI tables in my memory! I've never used that ever other than comp sci tests! Macs get big daps for having the nutz to include firewire and USB2 standard on thier systems since a million years ago, though. - From, a Mac and PC user IceNine said: And FireWire (IEEE 1394) is FAR superior to USB 2.0 if you want real performance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
