USB 3.0

[Sheiky]

wow. my desktop still has USB 1.0. Data transfer FAIL.

I bet you don't really like computers then do you? [:P]

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.

Honestly, I have no clue Jon. I don't know what's the difference between single and dual directions is. Nonetheless I checked quite some producers of USB 3 PCI-E*1 adapters and they all claim to get up to 5Gb/s, so it "seems" (marketing or not) that the 5GB/s on PCI-Ex1 should be gettable...

1.4GHz pentium 3?

Wow...

+1 [:P] I have a quadcore running at 4.2Ghz...[:P]

they're both IDE. I don't even know if you can buy those anymore.

Yeah... you can still buy them on the EGG... I know that much.

Yep just like DDR2, some companies still offer them. I have even seen newly developed DDR2 lately. Don't think they are getting high salesrates though...

Needless to say, I need to a new desktop sometime in the next year or two. :P

Definitely, sir. This time, BUILD!!! [img]/photography_gear1/emoticons/emotion-21.gif[/img]

Yea build it yourself! It's actually quite enjoyable to build one as well. And just like with camera's and lenses, you're never done upgrading, so watch your wallet [A]
