    Chapter 7 USB 2.0 Configuration 7.1 Introduction The AIMB-740-6CB1 is designed with Intel ICH4 which supports both USB1.1 and USB 2.0 high-speed transmission. It still remains the stan- dard with today's USB device. High-speed USB 2.0 provides data transfer up to 480Mb/s which is 40 times faster than USB 1.1. It is ideal for today's speed-demanding I/O peripherals.
