The goal of all USB 2.0 chipsets is to provide that given the number of devices connected. so if you end up buying a card with 6 ports just use a single port on each pair although I doubt very much that the chip on the card suffers any real performance problems with more than one device through the same chip. So I guess what your looking for is a PCI Express (not sure what pci-x is) card with multiple USB 2.0 chips of which you will use only a single port per chip. Seems reasonable given that each usb pair uses it's own chip.
