Mac Pro and USB

Does anyone know if all 5 USB ports are USB2 ports?
And if so, are they all ports that work as a USB power outlet?
 
All five ports (2 in front, 3 in back) are USB 2.0. And yes, each one is powered.
The 2 ports on the keyboard are USB 1.1.
 
I don't think Apple ever mixed here. Machines (not talking about the keyboard here...) had either USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 ports.
 
But to have 5 powered USB2 ports, i guess that means that the voltage the supply gives must be... how mutch is it anyway?
Is it enough so that all 5 usb2 and firewire ports (including FW800) can all run simultaneously using external HD enclosures? Can it hold up all that mutch power?
 
If my TiBook/iBook/AluBook/MacBook all can handle three chained FW drives plus a DVD burner plus a harddrive on USB 2.0, I think this should be no problem.
