Nah not even close. Assuming you have PCI-express(not the old PCI), a PCI-E x 1 slot would already be fast enough to handle USB3.


Yes, it would be fast enough to "handle" usb 3, but the question was whether the card would limit the usb 3. I'm pretty ignorant about computers and technology and such things (so correct me if I am wrong), but I thought USB 3.0 was supposed to be like 5 gbps. According to your link, a single connection pci express x1 slot is only 2.5 gbps.
