hmmm.... thing is, if it would have served its purpose better if the whole issue was in one thread.

anyway, if the purpose is served, ask mods to close the old threads.

Click to expand...

Theoretically it should work-usb 3.0 is backward compatible with usb 2.0.But if your motherboard doesn't have usb 3.0 headers,you'll probably need a usb 3.0 to usb 2.0 adapter to get it working.

I would also suggest to look at N600 as well. I didn't get the N600 yet, just got N200 recently.
