MX7515 doesn't have USB 2.0?

I read that the USB 2.0 bus will show up as "enhanced", but the 4 usb ports show up in the system properties just like USB 1.0, did they make a mistake or did I get the wrong ports?

 

I can't imagine it doesn't have USB 2.

Thanks for posting your device manager screenshot. Mine looks just like yours. I always figured the "enhanced" in the first entry was enough. I don't get a warning when I plug in my usb2 device, so I guess I'm okay. It doesn't seem slow to me... Is USB2 working on the machine?

 

Try using Windows Update to update your usb drivers.

 

Anybody have any new info about this issue?

 

Check with a different program the mobo specs...Sandra 2005 tells me that it has 2 USB 1.0 controllers and 1 USB 2 controller with speeds of 1.5Mbps to 480Mbps.

I will check how fast it goes with my external USB 2 hdd and let you guys know.

I wonder if the side and back USB ports are different speed...maybe that's why....have you checked with all plugs?

 

Looking deeper I realized that all my USB2 capable peripherials are recognized as USB2, but performance is really bad. My external HDD enclosure does only 7,8MB/s on Sandra2005 performance test...my old presario does 29MB/s !!!!!!
Something is wrong here......
BTW, if I connect the drive to a targus USB2 hub, it keeps disconnecting...I needed to connect directly to my 7515 to make it work.
