Parameters in the bios

[Pier]

Hi everybody,

For the story I have an old (but performant) computer who hadn't USB 2.0, I have buy a PCI card and installed without problem.

It's incontestably more speed than USB 1.0 but it seems to be only USB 2.0 Full Speed (max 12 Mbit/s = USB 1.1) and not USB 2.0 High Speed (max 480 Mbits/s = USB 2.0).

I have an Intel Garibaldi D850GB motherboard and this page of the support documentation concern me Enabling USB 2.0 Support but in my bios I have not "USB Configuration" parameter.

I think it's because I have a Gateway with a specefic bios GB85010A.15A and not GB85010A.86A...


My question if the next, is it possible to "crack" the Gateway bios and put the Intel one ?


Thanks a lot.

What model Gateway...and what model USB PCI card?

[Pier]

My computer is a :

Gateway, version 4000762
Processor : Intel Pentium 4, 1600 MHz
Motherboard : Intel Garibaldi D850GB
Bios : GB85010A.15A.0046.P13.0108201551

And the PCI USB 2.0 card :
NEC D720101 (here)


Do you need other informations ?

[Denniss]

Try a different PCI slot. But it looks more like a software/driver problem.

[Pier]

Hum... I think that the bandwidth is locked by the bios... and the drivers of the PCI card are good.

[KachiWachi]

Hum... I think that the bandwidth is locked by the bios...

Not possible.

An add-in PCI card does not use the system BIOS settings for USB.

Check your driver install as Denniss recommended.

Thanks.

[Pier]

Ok, I will see my drivers... but the Enhanced Host controller is already installed !


Edit : see, where is the problem ?

[KachiWachi]

Actually, I don't see.

You should show the "View -> Devices by connection".

It is more informative.

Thanks.

[Pier]

And with this ?




Thanks a lot.

[KachiWachi]

Everything looks just fine to me.

Thanks.

How did you test this and with what operating system?

[Pier]

Now after a lot a reading I am not sure that my usb key and my mp3 player are certified High Speed

I am on Windows XP SP2, for the test I have use HD Tach but if you know a better program I can try...

[KachiWachi]

When you plug the devices in, do they show up under the Enhanced USB 2.0 Controller?

[Pier]

Yes !

Enhanced USB 2.0 Controller > USB 2.0 Root Hub > Mass Strorage Device

[KachiWachi]

Then I would say that everything is working properly.

Thanks.
