My last mobo fried a few weeks ago, it only supported USB 1.1. The new board I bought (MSI KT3 Ultra2) to replace it supports USB 2.0. Here's my question:
The rear usb 2.0 bracket is fine, but my current case has front mounted ports too. The connectors on the board are the same so I was wondering if I were to plug the front mounted ports (originaly from USB 1.1) onto the USB 2.0 capable motherboard. Would it work in USB 2 mode? Or is there a difference between the actual connectors between the two standards?
I would just test it with a 2.0 device, but I don't have any right now. Depending on whether or not this works, I'd like to purchase some mobile usb2 devices. (no firewire btw).
Thanks all!
