USB 2.0 question


My new motherboard will have USB 2.0. I currently have a mouse, webcam, printer, joystick, throttle and gamepad that are USB, but, my motherboard I am using now is not USB 2.0. Will these devices work on my new motherboard that I just ordered that has USB 2.0? Will I get the "full-effect" of USB 2.0?

It will work fine since usb 2 is backward compatibility. None of your devices will run USB 2 speeds. Only things that will run the USB 2 speeds are devices that is compatible of running at that speed. But most devices can't use USB 2 speed.


.: EDIT :.

backward compatibility: To be able to use older versions of hardware and software.
