June 9, 200521 yr I have an Antec case with two front USB 2.0 slots. Can I connect this to any motherboard that supports USB or must it support USB 2.0?
June 9, 200521 yr AFAIA you can connect them to any mobo with the right connection, but if the board only supports USB 1 then they'll only run and USB 1.Correct me if I'm wrong
June 9, 200521 yr Yep, that's how it works. It basically means that they can handle 2.0, but they'll run at whatever speed the board they're hooked up to works at.
June 12, 200521 yr Author It's an older Soyo. I couldn't tell you exact model and all because my hard drive is corrupt at the moment. I'm on my backup machine!
June 14, 200521 yr I have an Antec case with two front USB 2.0 slotsI have that setup to. Man those tiny wires are hard to connect.
June 14, 200521 yr Yeh standards aren't always followed on some motherboards too which leads to swapping the tiny wires round BTW, what does AFAIA mean? Forgive me if that sounds stupid but I have never come across it before.....nor has google seemingly
June 19, 200521 yr You must make sure that the board you are looking for has a USB header port on it, (somewhere to connect all those annoying wires), most of the lastest board carry one now-a-days.
