It should support both, to my knowledge (which is very limited, mind
you). I also went out to the store and purchased a new cable, which
made the driver recognize the cable correctly, whereas it did not
before. I wonder if there is not a serious deficiency in the cables
sent out with motherboards, which is contributing to the problems a lot
of people are having in this area. Hope this helps some.
