USB 2.0 / 1.1 Ports on GA-8IPE1000 Pro Rev 2.0
Hi,
I have the Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro Rev 2.0 mainboard. It has an Intel 865PE Springdale chipset. The manuals states that there are 8 USB 2.0 / 1.1 ports. I see the 4 connectors mounted on the back of the board, and also the header pins for Front1 and Front2 USB. When the board boots up and identifies the onboard PNP hardware, I see 4 USB 1.1 Host Controllers and 1 USB 2.0 Host Controller. In Windows XP Professional Device Manager, this same configuration is shown. I thought these should all be USB 2.0 controllers, right? Since each controller has a root hub, doesn't this total 10 USB ports instead of 8? Can someone explain why this board reports the USB hardware as such? Thanks, Shawn |
