n why would that be....????

Because in many of the cabinets, the front USB ports are USB 1.1 ports...

Re: This USB device can perform faster if it is connected to HI SPEED USB 2.0 port HE

either the driver is not updated(less chances) or u hav 2 enable usb2.0 from bios. check it and reply back.

this faq from intel may help u out:-

Why is my USB 2.0 device operating at USB 1.1 speeds?

Each USB port is treated as an independent USB path, and the performance of each USB port is dependent upon the detected USB device(s) within that USB port (point-to-point) device connection. Its performance will be limited to the least capable performance element within that port's connection. For example, if you connect a USB 2.0 high-speed device to a USB 1.1 Hub, which is then connected to a USB port on the motherboard, the USB 2.0 high-speed device will be limited to the performance through that USB 1.1 Hub.
Refer to the device manufacturer of your USB device for specifications and installation requirements. Additional USB design specifications reference information can be found within the Intel Desktop Board D865GVHZ Technical Product Specification (TPS).

so you are saying that the same motherboard would provide USB 1.1 for front connection and 2.0 for the rear one.........eh!! sounds stupid if u ask me..........

Yep...I know it sounds stupid but thats the way things used to be...The front USB ports are provided by the cabinet manufacturer whereas the ones at the rear are provided along with the mobo itself.

Arent the pin configurations different?

^^
no

*www.directron.com/installusb.htmlI got a little confused in my earlier post and said that mobos provide different headers...What i really meant was that even if the mobo supports USB 2.0, nothing can be done if the front USB ports are USB 1.1...Sorry for all the confusion created...Edited my earlier posts...
