Add a USB 3 card

[johnf52]

I would like/need to add a USB 3 port card (or replace the USB 2 at the back)  Which card, would do the job and is it possible to get card and drivers from the same source/supplier (needs to be in the UK) and do I need to do anything else?  

Thanks in advance

is your system a elite 800 (and if so a G1 through G6) or a 8000 elite? they are  very different systems

elite 800 G1

USB 3 cards using the "TI" chip are considered to be the best followed by the NEC/Renesas chip

all of the others are "budget" chips and the boards they reside on are usually of a cheaper quality

last, keep in mind that USB is a SHARED buss, meaning the card/chip's bandwidth is shared between all devices attached this means that a 4 port card will be quite slow if you connect 4 high bandwidth devices to it such as ext hard drives

there do exist highend usb 3 cards that do not share bandwidth, but these cards cost over 100 dollars used on ebay

one thing i forgot to mention is that you can only use Low Profile cards and your system has a Pci-E x1 and a x8 (using x16 slot)
