USB 3.0 drivers for Win8?
I have an Inspiron 660 that came with Windows 7 but I've upgraded to 8.
It still doesn't support USB 3.0 for some reason, are Dell going to be offering a patch or update for it?

Cheers for that - it still comes up as "Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver" though.

USB 3.0 is hardware not OS based. There is no software "patch" for USB 3.0 and its not native to windows 7 or 8. Chipset Drivers are required as well as USB 3.0 drivers if the hardware exists in your system.
