USB 2.0 full speed instead of hi speed

Thanks for answering.

It is not the onboard usb 2.0 on the k7vt2 that is giving him problems, it seems to be on hi speed.

The pci plug in card with via chipset at the ecs board seems to be the problem, even after trying to install the via drivers, the device manager still doesn't list a usb 2.0 enhanced, which is necessary. It only shows as a "normal" usb 2.0 device (not enhanced).

I have read a lot on this subject (e.g. via usb 2.0 chipsets are crap), but I simply cannot figure it out. I will keep investigating this stuff, cos the data transfer is that slow, that you can burn the data to a cd and even gain some time, that is useless.

It was the ECS I was referring to, it may have a plug in card, but there are still jumpers and bios setting to take into account.

It may just be that the older board isn't HISPEED USB 2.0 compliant. It might be using a 2.0 driver but not enhanced... why don't you just use an RJ-45 Ethernet crossover cable and 2 nics? It would be easier and much faster... 100BaseT, at 100 Mbps..... hmmm... interesting... The cable isn't hard to come by, can even make em urself, if ya got the stuff.... also, ya can get the nics for round $15/ cheap... However, some newer mobos come with an Ethernet adapter onboard.
