Hi -

I've just tried installing a 3rd webcam on a WinXP machine this
week, and like the other 2 webcams, I'm getting a message saying
that the device could perform better with a USB 2.0 port or
something like that -- also, the camera resolutions are so bad that
I've had to return 2 cameras, and I may have to return this one as
well, but before I do so, I'd like to try a highspeed USB port.

The device manager lists a PCI Class USB 2.0 Enhanced Host
Controller,

Are you using Windows XP?

but I don't know which port it is. They all look alike -- said the
n00b.

Trying them is pretty easy even for a newbie.

If it helps I have a dimension dell 8300.

The 8300 has only 2.0 ports.

According to 2 different reviews it has
USB 2.0 ports (rear/front) 6 2
