| | Conclusion
At this point you may be asking yourself whether or not to purchase
a FireWire card or wait for the USB 2.0 adapter cards to become available.
With the speed increase expected by USB 2.0 you might consider waiting;
but on the other hand, you will only see an increase in speed with
hardware and peripherals supporting the new 2.0 standard. FireWire,
on the other hand, has been available for some time and has a wide
range of products available for it. If you have no pressing needs
for a speed increase and have the time to wait, you may consider waiting
for USB 2.0.
Bottom Line: If you can't wait or need support for FireWire, I
would highly recommend that you have a look at Belkin's PCI FireWire
Card. It performs without a hitch, and comes complete with video-editing
software, and features threeFireWire ports for your hot-swappable
enjoyment.
