How long a wait?

[Eye seven]

If I wanted an x58 motherboard with SATA 3 and USB 3 am I looking at waiting until at least 2010? Will SATA 3 motherboards be out late this year?

USB 3 isn't due out in the shops until 2010, I think the SATA 3 standard is supposed to be out around summerish but it'll be a wee while after that until device are out for it.

EDIT: Whoops, apparently the "first half of 2009 for retail devices" is the SATA 3 ETA, but there's been hardly a squeak about it so I'd not hold your breath.
