Do I have USB 1.1 or 2.0?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

How can I tell if I have USB 1.1 or 2.0? I want to connect an ipod and Apple claims I need high power USB 2.0 or FireWire. I have USB ports but I'm not sure what version.

System is a Dell Inspiron 4100 (laptop). Did not come with manuals. Online doc's don't seem to mention version of USB port.

In Control Panel, System, Device Manager, hardware.If you don't see the
words ' Standard enhanced controller'' under USB devices, you do not have
USB 2.0...
