USB 3380 on M11x R3?

[ThatOldGuy]

USB 3.0 should have speeds up to 5GB per second, that should be plenty fast enough.

Any updates on this im following im hoping to be able to get something like this set upp so i can connect multiple 30" monitors to my m11x r3 to be the portable when on the road and powerful when im at home any luck?

i am really sleepy, but from what i understand even though USB 3.0 gives 5gt/s the "PCI Express Gen 2 x1" means it gives only x1 line, which should be 2.5gt/s each way, (read/write) thats theoretically at best is 312.5MB/s, which most likely would fall down to 200ish in real life, now considering 540m runs at x16 (i assume, correct me if i am wrong thx), the usb3.0 adapter would be considerably far slower than integrated 540m in anything but processing power... as the x1 bus would just bottle next everything...

that adapter would be good for a laptop with low end nvidia/ati card on board, or only the intel graphics, but not one equipped with a fairly decent mid-range card... it would be money down the drain as performance increase would be minimal apart from benchmarks, as in games textures and all that other magical pixies and elves need to be shoved into the graphics card for processing and blending all the time...
