The UHCI interface standard provides support for USB 1.1. EHCI, USB 2.0. XHCI supports USB 3.0, as well as 2.0 and 1.1. Any chipset manufacturer which wants to support USB 3.0 will be using XHCI, which the Linux kernel has an option for. I've now built two systems that have USB 3.0 on the motherboard. A quick search of Newegg for XHCI shows that you can PCIe expansion cards to add USB 3.0 to your system. -- :wq
