Usb 2.0

The new 80GB iPod says that USB 2.0 is a requirement. Do any of the PowerMac G4's (I have a 450 Mhz AGP Sawtooth) have USB 2.0? or is it 1.1?? I'm wondering if the new iPod I'm getting will work with my older system. I'm running the latest OS, 10.4.7 ...

ElDiabloConCaca will become famous soon enough
None of the PowerMac G4 towers have USB 2.0. They all have USB 1.1, so if you wish to use USB 2.0, you'll need a Macintosh-compatible PCI USB 2.0 card.

It will work fine, I have a 30GB 5G iPOd which connects fine to both my G4 400Mhz and my Quicksilver both of which only have USB 1.1

The only problem is a slower transfer speed.
