My current computer uses Usb 1.0 or 1.1, something like that. I'm getting a new computer soon that has Usb 2.0. Can I use the same Usb cable, or does 2.0 require a different one? Thanks.

YES U COULD USE THE SAME USB CABLE, I THINK 2.0 JUST HAS FASTER TRANSFER SPEEDS.

Much faster, approximately 7 times better.

Yes you can. Usb 1 is rated at 12mbps while Usb 2 is rated at 480mbps.

USB 2.0 is backwards compatable with USB 1.1 i.e. if your hardware worked with 1.1 it will work with 2.0

Use the same cable. If your devices are USB2 then they will operate at the faster speed.
