USB spits out a large number of messages under normal operation. Every
time it recognizes a device, is spits out about 5 or 6 lines (which counts
the hub which is built into your motherboard). Several of these you can
reproduce at your leisure by disconnecting and reconnecting your USB
devices.
Rather than getting another PCI card, you probably would be better off
getting a USB hub. But also keep in mind that USB devices are hot
pluggable, so until you get a hub, you can always just keep disconnecting
one device every time you need to use another one.
