Its a fast pace for the equally fleet-footed technology, which is the
third revision since USB made its debut a little over a decade ago. And while USB lost out to FireWire in the sexy name stakes, USB 3.0 has a swanky

How to identify a buggy device driver on Windows Vista
If your computer is acting unpredictably, locking up, and encountering blue screens of death, then youre most likely the victim of a faulty driver.
The Driver Verifier Manager (DFV) is a great tool for troubleshooting driver problems by identifying the troubling driver. Although DFV does not
actually fix the driver, it still is a really useful tool because it helps you identify the troubling driver so you can choose to delete or update the
driver.
Before you attempt to use this tool, please be sure that your are really having driver problems. The tool will prevent
your computer from starting by identifying the troubling driver. I say this only because it may be a lengthy process for you but if you are
having troubles, it will definitely be worth it.

Is Intel delaying USB 3.0?
According to a report from EETimes.com, Intel has pushed plans to support USB 3.0 in its chipsets back until 2011. Without Intel's support for the
standard, motherboard and gadget makers will be forced to hold off due to the expense of using third party controllers. Also known as SuperSpeed USB
and developed by the USB 3.0 Promoter Group - Hewlett Packard, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, NXP Semiconductors and Texas Instruments - USB 3.0 promises
speeds of up to 4.8Gbit/s. At the Intel Developers Forum 2009 last month, it was unofficially revealed that Intel planned to start offering support
for USB 3.0 in early 2010, but then "shifted its plans out a year," according to the EETimes.com.
