I must be an old fart too.... My system has a pretty old ATX LGA 775 MB with intel Q6700 & USB2 in a nice big coolermaster case which is really easy to upgrade. To get USB3 I simply bought a new card which had 2 USB3 A connectors at the back and an internal connector to a card reader + USB3 A connector now on the front of the case. I would never have a laptop as my main computer because of the inability to upgrade & add cards. But isn't there an internal usb3 header to which you could attach a front panel usb3 connector (not very expensive).
