GreyKnight Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Frickin' hell! Bite his hand off now! I work in IT and I've never used anything with Firewire. I think Firewire is like Betamax, and USB is VHS. But PCs still come with the socket, as it's supposedly better, somehow, I think!?!?!

guitarman68 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 All ready got it john, setup nicely in my loft.My mate wanted to sell it to get a xps laptop, I cant believe the difference a 22" widescreen makes and the only thing I have to sort out is my mic is a bit quiet.

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted October 13, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted October 13, 2008 I work in IT and I've never used anything with Firewire. I think Firewire is like Betamax, and USB is VHS. But PCs still come with the socket, as it's supposedly better, somehow, I think!?!?! Firewire is used often by Digital Video cameras and audio devices, although later models have USB 2 which is quicker than firewire (IEEE 1394a) which has a top speed of 400Mbs (1394b has a speed of 800Mbs that leaves usb2 standing @ 480Mbs however neither XP nor Vista support 1394b unlike Macs). I have a printer and an external hard drive that have firewire connections, but I use USB2 Incidentally FireWire is the Apple name for it....
