Sounds like your Mother Board is USB 1.0
If you are just doing an occasional scan I would say it should not bother
you. If you plan on doing a lot of scanning you can purchase and install a
USB 2.0 card and connect the scanner to that.

Subject: [PCBUILD] USB Ports and its speed
I recently bought a Canon CanoScan 8800F scanner and it supports Hi
Speed USB 2.0. I connected it to my computer a AMD GA-M57SLI-S4
motherboard. When I turn on the scanner I get the message "This USB
device can perform faster if connected to a Hi Speed 2.0 port." How can I
tell the speed I'm running at? Since they say that the Hi
Speed runs 40x faster then USB 1.1 there would be a major difference in
performance.
The motherboard manual just says it supports 2.0/1.1. The Hub I'm
running it through supports Hi Speed 2.0 and is self powered.
