yeah 2.0 is rated at that speed, but i "heard" that it wont necessary mean itll transfer at that speed all the time? :dunno:
and i do video work on the comp, so firewire works best for me with its 4channels.
i have 6 USB 2.0 ports and i only use one for a stupid mouse and the other for the camera. the rest just sit there empty and lonely
h:
oh, and the Firewire2 at 800mb/s.... i wanna see one run at that
h: i dont even know anything that is compatible with that? but yeah only the new power mac g4 towers come with 2 of those.
