Do you know the motherboard model or chipset, what processor are you using with it?

Go into your Device manager and scroll down to Universal usb controllers and expand the tree.If you find Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller then you have it. :D

Rik is correct usb1.1.You don't have "Enhanced pci to usb host controller"which is your usb 2.0 driver supplied by the Mobo manufacturer and supported by M$.You can purchase an after market pci card with usb connections.

I dug up some good info on usb cards
