When I plug in a USB device Windows says that it would perform faster if connected to a USB 2.0 port. But I thought the NF7-S's had 6 USB 2.0 ports? How can I fix this? I'm using the ports right on the I/O plate of the motherboard.

Are you using Service Pack 2? (it needs to be installed for USB2 support).

Any port that I put it into, windows will say the same thing

Look in your device manager, are all of your USB controller's drivers installed properly? If not, highlight and update the drivers.

Windows says the drivers are working correctly, and devices I plug into the USB ports work, it's just that Windows won't recognize it as a USB 2.0 port, so I don't know if I'm getting the increased speed I should be getting.

Make sure the USB 2 controller is set to Hispeed and not Fullspeed in the bios if such an option exists.

Make sure USB 2.0 is enabled in the bios if such an option exists.

Some boards have both of those options as well....I don't have the NF-7 so I can't tell you where to look...but it should be integrated peripherals or chipset features maybe.

The pinouts are the same for 1.1 or 2.0.
