just bought a new budget cpu/mobo (AMD 960T + mobo for $90 total) for Diablo III.
it does not come w/usb 3.0.
i saw this usb 3.0 PCI-E card for $10:

it takes up a pci-e x1 slot??? (there's actually a use for that slot?!)
anyway, i dont have any usb 3.0 devices yet but probably will get some flash drives in a year or 2 if it's cheap.
1) will usb 2.0 flash drives xfer any faster with this card?
2) does the usb front panel connections on my case have to be usb 3.0 compatible?
3) dont bother and wait till my next budget computer refresh cycle in 2-3 years?
