Small Firewire Question

Hi All,

A couple of questions please.......

I just bought an Asus P5B to upgrade my system. Previously I had an
Asus A8N-SLI.

Now,m I'm not great at this stuff, but I'm not sure that was an
upgrade?? Maybe I was taken... Anyhow, I have a GeForce 8800.
Don't I need an SLI MB to work with that?

Also, I noticed that this new MB has no firewire connection on it.
So, I was debating on whether or not to buy a Firewire controller
card, OR, but a new MB (like the ASUS P5N-E SLI) and use the on-board
1394 connector.

Is there any advantage to the onboard controller over the controller
card???

Thanks for your feedback.

open control panel.
type "problem" in the "help" box.
under "problem reports" click ..guess what..."how to check for solutions"
click advanced and do what ye may.

first resort for answers you will learn less in the long run. i tell you this
not to be mean but because i want you to learn your machine.
