At least five years..

Tend to agree about current SSD prices. But I need a new system. I
will live with the "2X2" limitations of current mobos. My original
question was what is out there for such a mobo. Shoot, I don't mind
upgrading a peripheral or two when the upgrade makes sense.

Thank you Peter for your response.

Seagate and Western Digital (as well as others) have external disk
drives using USB3 and running at about 90MB/second.

SATA III is can be used with various SSDs, but also with some spinning
disks, such as Western Digital VelociRaptor HLHX models
http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-701284.pdf

SATA III would also be useful for use with a port multiplier, but I
couldn't find a SATA III port multiplier.

I'd hold out for PCI 3 also, but you made need PCI 2 on some slots
since PCI 3.0 doesn't support 5-volt power per

Others have given links for boards supporting USB3 and SATA3. I
haven't checked for PCI 3 support.

My old desktop died a few years back. My current PC is a laptop.

I find laptops too limited, but, until recently, unavoidable. Now
it's avoidable.

Food for thought. Thanks.
