Your notebook has USB 1.1 as the native USB support. To get USB 2.0 capabilities, you will need to use a PCMCIA card, or possibly a PCI card in a dicking station (although there are a number of these which don't work properly).
When I was using a C840 daily, I had a Belkin 5 port USB 2.0 PCI card in my C-DOCK II station, and it worked perfectly. I also had a 2 port PCMCIA USB 2.0 card I carried with me for use away from home.
Dell does not have this clearly identified, but a search of the forum history would have yielded the answer. Dell did not provide USB 2.0 support in any of the Latitude C-Series notebooks. USB 2.0 first appeared in the Latitude D-Series systems. I am not psoitive here, but I think that all D-Series systems support USB 2.0.

Thanks very much for the information. Was there any way I would have been able to determine this?
