The make and model of the computer, then a look on the manufacturers website if the USB is integrated to the mainboard would tell you the speed of the USB ports.

Or look in "device manager", if there is "enhanced usb" installed, then you have usb2 for sure.

This download is kind of cool--in fact one of the moderators on the ZDNet board referred me to the site. Belarc builds a detailed profile of your PC which comes in very handy when you need to know pertinent info about your hardware, software, etc.
