AFAIK neither company mentions this in their supported PC specs, though the Rift compatability tool will warn you if you have incompatable USB ports. I would really have liked to have known this going into my Vive purchase - I've owned it for 2 weeks and have been able to use the device twice in that time.

Would a PCIe USB card work? I'd be pretty upset if I had to buy a new motherboard.

  Yep, that's the plan. The recommended family of cards isn't sold in Australia so I'll have to import one. The other issue is my older motherboard/CPU combo which may or may not be able to support the extra PCIE use. Overall, fun times.

  I have a Fresco PCIe USB card (afair that was what they've recommended) and it works just fine.
