does the motherboard support PCI express 2.0 or 3.0? and how many usb ports does it have I can't really see it from the picture

1 x PCI Express 3.0/2.0 x16 Slot. The back of the box lists USB ports as "2 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports & 8 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports", but I assume they include possible USB connections via the ports on the front panel of your PC case and whatnot. USB ports available strictly on the motherboard are 2 x USB 3.0 and 4 x USB 2.0. Hope that helps! Here's a picture of the specs on the back of the box: http://i.imgur.com/A3NcRrY.jpg

there is a VGA port and 2 HDMI ports, and I counted at least 4 on the back and 4 on the front 2.0 USB ports, as far as 3.0 I do not know hope this helps

This card does not use any motherboard's USB resourses. So it will provide valid USB3 ports independently of motherboard's resourses, even in case m/b has no any build in USB at all.The only ultimate demand is PCI-x slot to plug the card in

Yes. You have one PCI Express slot, according to the specifications for your computer I found online.

Stacy:Yes, this motherboard has USB 3.0 ports. It has an internal USB 3.0 header, which is one reason I bought this MB, and it has 2 USB 3.0 ports on the rear panel plus 4 USB 2.0 ports. My Thermaltake case has 2 USB 3.0 ports on the front panel with the cable to attach to the internal USB 3.0 header. Works fine. Any other questions, please ask. C. Johnson

It has 6 USB ports in the back and two in the front panel. You will need to separately purchase and install a USB 3.0 PCI or PCI-E Card. Unfortunately we do not these cards in stock. Sample here: Anker® Uspeed USB 3.0 PCI-E Express Card with 4 USB 3.0 Ports and 5V 4-Pin Power Connector for Desktops [VL805 Chipset]

I have the Asus B85M-G Motherboard and it does have USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 headers.

you can get a PCI Express USB 3.0 card, then connect this unit onto it from the inside using the blue 3.0 connector.

The built in ports on your motherboard will stay at USB 2.0, but the ports on the Anker PCIe card will give you full USB 3.0 throughput.

It does not there is not enough power on the motherboard for it to work... And.nothing u can do about it.. I believe I read somewhere that the 2 port USB card will work fine though

We'll make sure in your mother board the pins where that USB 3.0 goes are not bent or anything. Other than that I'm not sure what could those issues. Total guess in maybe a short in the 3.0 USB. I can understand that you want those working but I believe even after I loaded all my drivers/chipsets n at those USB "kinda" work for me. Not always recognizing the USB 3.0 I plug into it. I always use the 3.0 I have built into my motherboard. Also thermaltake customer support can help sometimes. you can proceed with your build and don't let that 2x USB 3.0 bother you. Get to gaming!

Yes, it is I am currently using this GPU on that motherboard. ASUS is working on the next generation of that mobo that will have PCIE 3.0. Haven

It's PCI Express 3.0,..says right on the box in fine print. I think most platforms from the last 5 years or so have been 3.0.

It has two controllers...one for the multi-card reader, the other for the four usb 2.0 ports, the card reader and usb 2.0 use the standard usb 2.0 header direct-connected to the motherboard. Its usb 3.0 ports plug directly into the motherboard usb 3.0 header, so it uses the controller on your motherboard (or expansion card if you're using that instead). So yes, it will allow simultaneous usb 2.0 and 3.0, since they're using separate controllers.

The USB3 connects to a PCIe slot. The card reader connects to the motherboard USB2 pins.

3 usb ports, the computer is slow though. They say high performance lol where?!
