I am considering a scanner that requires a USB 2.0 port
speed. How can I find out what the port speed is?

Thank you for any insight provided.

The scanner will work on any USB port because USB 2.0 is
backward compatible. To check your system's actual speed,
look in device manager to see the hardware/driver specs.
The BIOS also probably must be set to the proper speed if
your USB is on the motherboard.

You can add a USB 2.0 PCI card if your present USB is 1.1.
(You can get a combo card with USB 2.0 and Firewire).

Also, you can use the Bel Arc Advisor www.belarc.com to see
a report on your hardware/software. AIDA32 also reports
details of the system.

Open Device Manager, look at the USB Host Controllers. If the word
"Enhanced" appears, it is Hi-Speed USB (formerly USB 2). If the word
"Standard" appears, it is USB (formerly USB 1.1).

Thank you for your help. I checked but neither the word
Enhanced nor Standard appears. Is there some other way I
can find out?
