Looks like I'm going to be forced to upgrade to a PCI-E sound card with this layout...

Anybody know approximate time frame for the release of this product?

If I really need the speed of USB 3.0 I'll just add in a PCI-E card. I definitely won't need SATA 3 since I don't plan on getting a SSD anytime soon.

Most probably will not care much about usb3/sata3 at first but myself I am a hardware junkie and must have it as soon as possible, dead or alive...

Wait, don't you also want PCI-E x16 3.0?

Think ill wait for ICHR11 (or the intel chipset that supports USB3.0/SATA3.0 instead of jumping on USB3.0/SATA3.0 based on 3rd party chipsets this)

Yes I read the brief specs and I know it doesn't support pcie 3.0 specs. What I'm more worried about is the flaky SATA3 controller. After all this all the excitement is gone out of me but will see once the board hits the streets...

I'm also considering hardware based SATA-3 PCI-E controller once they come out as well...
