PCI-E 1x 1.1 is limited to 125MB/s a second each way. Some people call that 250MB/s, but its wrong.
For a USB 3.0 port to run at 600MB/s, it would need to have 4 lanes of PCI-E 1.1 bandwidth for each port on the card. so that means a PCI-E 16x card could have 4x ports on it.
While most consumer motherboards have PCI-E 2.0 for the graphics cards slots, the extra 1x and 4x slots tend to run at the 1.1 standard.
USB3.0 wont be so hot in add-in cards - it'll utterly destroy USB2.0, but it wont show its potential until its integrated into the motherboards directly, and has access to more PCI-E lanes.
