I bought a case thats says it has 2 USB 2.0 ports in the front but when I got everything set up I connected a Hi speed device to it and on Windows it says that this device should be connected to a high speed port.
Since the case has the Usb 2.0 ports does that mean that my motherboard does not support Usb 2.0?

All the ports on my computer are USB1.1 but i thought since the case had built in 2.0 ports, they would work as hi speed 2.0 ports

it is probably because your motherboard does not support usb 2.0, try plugging the device into a back port and see if it has the same issue. If it does not, the ports on the front may not be usb 2.0. I have had this problem in cheaper computer cases, it has something to do with the integrity of the cable going to the ports, and your motherboard autonegotiating to usb 1.1 to reduce errors.

The case has NOTHING to do with whether or not you have USB 1.1 or 2.0, that is controlled by your motherboard or a PCI expansion card for USB 2.0. The cheapest way for you to get USB 2.0 is to get yourself a PCI expansion slot card for your computer.

My understanding is that there is not any large difference in the actual connections externally. On a retail equipment the blue connections would aspect out the USB3 ports and if there have been USB2 ports they may well be a diverse colour. Connecting them to the USB3 on the motherboard would make the ports USB3.
