    Hi... recently i have been experiencing some problems with my USB ports, they really eork like S***.. what do you advise me to do? I get really low copy rates to my flash drive and my mp3 player, which are both usb2 enabled and worked great a few weeks back... i haven't installed new motherboard drivers or anything like that recently... before i had like 2000 kb/s copy rate, now all i get is 300 kb/s or even lower...

    check your device manager to see if you have "enhanced" usb controller or not. If there is no "enhanced", then you're in usb 1 mode. Though 2000kbytes/s isn't really that fast, it is higher than the 1500kbytes/sec max of USB 1. 300kbyte/s is really really slow.

    so, all i have is :
    Intel(R) 82801FB/FBM USB Universal host controller - 2658
    four more just like it, of course, different numbers at the end
    and then i have 5 USB Root Hub....
    I also have an "enhanced" USB2 controller, but it doesn't seem to do its job.. any advice on that would be greatly apreciated... what can i say? i'm not good with computers when it gets too deep....
