Do I have USB 2.0?

[Foxdog175]

I just ordered a pretty expensive device that requires USB 2.0 yesterday. I just now happened to notice that it requires USB 2.0. I have a Mac Pro 3,1 (Early 2008). How do I tell which version of USB my Mac Pro has?

I have an older Powerbook G4, 2006 and it already has USB 2 so I guess you have it too.

All Mac Pros have USB 2.0. For reference: http://support.apple.com/specs/

Thanks, that's reassuring. I clicked on the USB listing in my "about my mac" section and here's a picture of what it shows. It looks like the version under the High-Speed section is 1.01. Does that mean I only have version 1?

Ok, thank goodness! (because my purchase was non-returnable). Thanks, guys. You made my week.

No. USB1 is called "Full Speed". USB2 is called "Hi Speed". So you have a revision of USB2. As has been said, all Mac Pros have USB2.

Do they even make USB 1.1 devices anymore? I mean besides keyboards and stuff like that.
The only thing that has USB1.1 in my apartment is my Onyx Blackjack soundcard and PowerMac G4 Cube

Coincidentally, the recording equipment I'm replacing uses USB 1. I'm replacing it with a new interface, requiring USB 2, hence what this thread was all about.
