[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 76039, member: 2124"] Re: X32 Discussion Firewire has a distinct edge in latency - the firewire controller is capable of Direct Memory Access (DMA) on it's own irrespective of the CPU. For this reason, it's perfect for high data rates that require low latency such as audio and video, and why it's the better choice if you have it available. USB is cheaper because it's a simpler controller reliant on the CPU - then again it was invented by Intel who happens to make CPU's - so that may have had something to do with the design choices 8)~8-)~:cool: [/QUOTE]
