USB Ports

Man, it seems as if the question of whether the Dimension 8200 has USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports is never going to die! 

Here's the deal. If you go and configure a Dimension 8200 online you will find that the next to last option on the configuration page is for a USB 2.0 PCI card w/ 4 ports. If the system's native USB ports were 2.0 then why would Dell offer this expansion card as an add-on option? Furthermore, if you click the Learn More link for the USB 2.0 adapter there is a note at the bottom of the window that pops up which reads "When configured with the USB 2.0 PCI card, the Dimension 8200 has 4 USB 2.0 ports (located in the back) and 4 USB 1.1 ports (2 - front and 2 - back)." I think that pretty much ends the debate.

Can we pleeeeeeease let this line of discussion die now? 

i looked inside my case the other day and the cable going to the front usb ports had the usb logo on it and it said 2.0. is that just the cable and the ports are 1.1 or are they 2.0
