I have a client who wishes to use the features of his camcorder on his pc. It requires fire wire connection. He has a AMD 1.2Ghz processor, 256 ram, 32 meg video card. My question is, can I use the pci to fire wire cards that are out there now to fulfill his needs or should I upgrade his motherboard to one that has onboard firewire capabilities? How will performance be affected between the two options?
Thank you in advance.

Depending on his price range, if he can afford it uprage the motherboard, since with the pci card you may not get the full speed.

looks like I will give the customer a pci to firewire card. Seems to be the best solution for him at this time. Thanks for your input.
