How to determine is device is connected to USB 1 or USB 2 port?

My motherboard has USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports but it is impossible to determine which is which by visual inspection.  I have hooked up a USB 2.0 device and would like to determine which port it's actually hooked up to.  I have looked in the "Device Manager" but can't seem to find anything in there relating to the speed in which the data can be transferred at.  I am using Windows 7 x64 Pro.

My friend has a Mac and when hooking the device up to his known USB 2.0 port then checking the system information it clearly showed the device and the data transfer rate, which happened to be around 480 mb/s.  It seems that this information would also be available in windows.
