Its possible your USB port is not 2.0 , therefore everytime you plug in a 2.0 device it will tell you you could get faster speeds ( like if you werent using the port at all)

You are connecting a USB2 device to a USB1 port. Nothing wrong with this the device will simply slow down to USB1. Windows is suggesting you have a look to see if there is a USB 2 port on your machine. If there are USB 2 ports, the drivers come with Windows XP.

now-a-days on the motherboard the usb panel near the keybord socket are usb 2. if u r connecting the usb in the front panel try to connect it at the back panel.
try to update the usb driver , that might help also.
as the other person said it will make a little difference in performance. all u data and information will have no difference.

Your usb port may be an older one. you can upgrade your self to a usb port which USB2.0 compatible which has 480mbps data rate, where as usb 1.0 has only 12mbps.
