    Asus G73JH Best Buy model to be more specific.

    It only has 2.0 ports. At least one 3.0 USB port would be nice. Is there any way?

    Thank you!

    Not really, as the current USB ports are provided from the Southbridge of the Intel chipset. You can't remove that one.

    Don't we all love to do weird stuff :p? I guess that I will give it a try sometime and see how it works out.
