    oh boy...here comes another term: connector. are connectors essentially ports?

    3 x USB 2.0/1.1 connectors (supports 6 ports)
    2 x IEEE 1394b connectors (supports 3 ports)
    i just wanna get all these terms straight before i buy myself a new mobo.
    dun wanna misinterpret info

    Used that way I think it refers to a connector (probably a male one with a bunch of pins) to which you can plug either a usb bracket with ports or the cable for the usb ports on your chassis. Thus you connect the ports to the connector, and then, when using whatever usb-device you might want to use you have that connected to the ports.

    connector->ports->usb device

    The same goes for the firewire connector, 'cept it'd be firewire and not usb then.

    I was meant to be a billionaire astronaut, but that didn't work out for me either.
