Asus launched the first USB 3.0 motherboard

[greggasket]

this wednesday Asus launched the first motherboard to support superspeed USB which is also known as USB 3.0.
boasts transfer rates of up to 10 times faster than what users can expect with USB 2.0
what do you think abt it?

useless unless USB3.0 devices are also present (and payable) and backwards compatible.

Guessing the devices will be backward compatible and just work at the slower speed. Next time a link to the page would be nice.
