techrecoveryWent to Frys with the Girl to get my birthday present.
Came home with a fancy case & power supply, other nifty bits, and the Fry's bundled Quadcore Intel.
I'm building it up. I plug in the new external HD I've backed up my data to.
What message do I see?
NO HIGH SPEED USB PORTS AVAILABLE ON THIS COMPUTER!! The board is ready for a quad core processor, but no high speed USB! What a crock of shit!
* Crock of Shit = ECS G31T-M mobo
Even after installing the board INF and other drivers, it still gives me that damn "this device could work faster if" when I plug in an external drive. I've just downloaded the latest from ECS, but can't install till the second drive completes its format.
Any recommendations of what board I should replace this useless piece of crap with? I just hate that I have to spend even more on this thing... (not a "help me please IT gods" post)
God, but I hate tech some days.
(usually it takes a vaio to get me this cranked)

Date: 2008-01-21 10:17 pm (UTC)If you're using WinXP, you'll always get this error. This is because there are no USB 2.0 drivers for WinXP that are any good. If you're getting this on Vista, we'll chalk it up to a bug in that piece of shit.
Use
the ForceLinux, Luke. It shall take this problem away.
