			<description><![CDATA[BTW you could use ribbon raiser cards for those PCI-E ports that land under the graphic card's cooler and putting x1 to x8 PCI-E cards in x16 slots is in now way wrong or undesirable. What's undesirable is the space lost in the mainboard's PCB because of extra x16 slots plastic. Also, take into account that NB's can't supply that many grouped PCI-E lanes. Only AMD's 790FX/890FX can supply one x6 port and 4 x1 ports besides the 2 x16 ports (or 4 x8 in some configs). On Intel's side things don't look that different either, but only for x58, which is an expensive chip. Lower NB models from either vendor have even less configuration options, unfortunately.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You're looking at it the wrong way... you would need PCI-E USB cards only if you need that many USB 3.0 ports. AFAIK 3.0 is only useful for a quick data swap now and then and in the future maybe for managing power cofig on a device that will support such features, like a NAS. Otherwise, USB 2.0 is more than enough for all devices currently connectible through the USB 2.0 ports which we have plenty of... more or less. I wouldn't mind more. Probably in the next 2 iterations of it's southbridge, the controller will be upgraded to support more than two ports, but for now, they suffice.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well another issue is that PCI-Express 1X slots are few when you load up video cards. I stick with Gigabyte motherboards as all of their boards I've ever purchased are still working. Unfortunately it's rare to get a two PCI-Express 16X slot motherboard that with two 2x slot video cards still leaves access to two PCI-Express 1x slots, most boards won't even give you access to a single 1x slot and while you can put a 1x card in to a 16x slot it's not really all that desirable. More boards should have 4x slots to be honest and as the top PCI-Express slot to boot.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think it would be great if the superspeed usb3.0 got standard in most motherboards. I dont agree that it should ever replace pci express. just cuase x1 2.0 has 250 most things that plug into it dont need more. the thing with pci-express is you can add as many lanes as you have into one slot... so a 4x slot easily overpowers the superspeed 3.0 not to mention the usb speeds are peak/burst rates and the average read/write and sustained rates are much lower, yet pci-express actually goes the speed it says it does. dont forget about 3.0 pcie thats coming eventually as well. you get more benefits then just speed in the first place. apples to oranges here... superspeeed would be good for higher sustained and average speeds closer to the max 3.0 spec, hoepfully...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@JAB, not that I disagree but 250MB/s is still a lot of bandwidth and should bother you only if you're a kid without the lil'bit of patience (ADHD maybe?). /sarcasm My personal opinion is that these SuperSpeed ports seem to advance far to fast for the current storage technology we have access to. Overall it's nice but the benefits would be a slightly (ONLY) lower price of mainboards. Not much to fuss about.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Intel doesn't want competition to it's light peak technology to become well established hence why they as a company drowning in their own money have been screwing over their customers so they can get their technology finished and well established and then charge everyone else licensing fees. Not that it's not great technology...it's just that the politics of it all ultimately screws over consumers. I am a bit surprised that AMD did not implement USB 3.0 in to 8 series chipsets. A lot of people get hyped about PCI-Express 1X cards a PCI-E 2.0 1x slot provides only one-way bandwidth of 250 megabytes a second while USB 3.0's 5 gigabit / 8 = 625 megabytes per second so unless USB 3.0 is integrated you're still potentially looking at a bus-based bottleneck.]]></description>
