============================================
The motherboard in my own pc is a Gigabyte 7VRXP... It
also supports eight USB ports.
Two of these USB ports are on the back panel, alongside
the PS2 sockets, and are regular USB outlets.
There are two more pin\sockets on the motherboard, which
I've connected by cables to ports on the front of the
case, and these are also normal USB.
But the motherboard also sports two more USB sockets,
containing four sets of pins. These sockets are orange in
color and marked USB 2.0.
My query is this: Is there any reason why I shouldn't
disconnect the cables from the regular USB sockets on the
motherboard, and re-connect them to the USB 2.0 sockets,
which will make my two outlets on the front of the case
USB
2.0?
(It sounds too simple - there must be a catch :--))
===================================================
If I remember correctly, the catch was that you had to
enable the USB 2.0 in BIOS and turn off the two extra 1.1
USB ports. (Not much of a catch!)
