I'm confused, is my Macbook usb 2.0?

This is what I get when I look at "about this mac:" (attached image)

I'm confused. My ibook has only two USB ports, yet this image shows three USB busses.

Two of them (the first two in the picture) are at 12 Mb/ps, which would mean firewire 1.1.

But the last one, the "High speed USB bus" shows 480 Mb/ps, which is 2.0.

So what does this mean? does this mean one of my ports is 1.1 and the other is 2.0? How do I know where to plug in then? — And why then are there three busses and only two ports to plug in a USB devide through?

My guess is that you have USB 2.0 while the keyboard and trackpad are 1.1.

iBooks introduced at the end of Oct '03 and forward have USB 2 ports.
Those discontinued at that same time and backward have USB 1.1 ports.

That is NOT an iBook. Look at what is connected to that High Speed USB Bus. Built In iSight. No iBook has an iSight camera unless you have one plugged in externally.

What are the specs on the machine? Is it an Intel or Power PC CPU? What happens when you click on the Apple and on About this Mac? What CPU is listed?

Any Intel Mac would be USB 2.0.

Sorry, I meant Macbook. Still, why are three 3 buses and why is only one of them 2.0?
