It is definitely USB 1.1. They can be difficult to get in if the are locked and you don't have the key. Generally these were Celeon or P3's from 500 MHZ to 1 GHz. Ypgrades were not what these were made for, and I think the max. RAM was 256 meg and room for only 1 hard drive. Onbard graphics were the only option.

Drivers are available when you know the exact model.

Everest will tell you all and I know it runs on Win2K.  ;)

Just to add a little - mine was definitely USB 1.1.  It did have 512MB of RAM and a 1GHz PIII though.  There were no upgrade options I could see - no expansion slots, no RAM upgrades, etc, I think the only way to "upgrade" would be a better HDD or possibly CPU, but then heat issues may arise from the cramped case.

    USB 1.1 to 2.0 is not a driver update, no, it's hardware.
    Unfortunately you're stuck with the slower speed on that machine.

    I also meant to mention, mine didn't have a lock but did have security Torx screws (the Torx ones with a dot in the middle) which was difficult to open mainly because I'd never seen that kind of screw before.

    As for finding the exact model, if there are no stickers at all on the case that you can use to ID it, your other options are to use something like Everest to get the details or to open it up and try to find a sticker inside.

    It's a pretty useful tool and it's FREE.

        Everest is a pain? You click on Report and press enter 3 times. Hardly painful.  ;)

          I'm not saing you are, I dont recall that.  The lack of flexiblity prevents me from a few things.  I've tried useing this before to only have it not work.

            Actually it isn't difficult.
            Install
            Run
            Save report as text file.

            Done.

              I'll try it on my tester first but it was rather hard to figure it out for some reason.
