Can you please provide me with the exact description of the "Firewire"?

To build upon what the above answer stated.  Firewire is faster because it uses a P2P technology for transfers.  USB uses master / slave.  Therefore, Firewire is faster regardless of slower transfer rates.

I'm not sure if this website helps. Please take a look at it... what you're doing looks interesting. Please send me an e.mail on gettemorkillem@yahoo.com and tell what is it exactly you're doing (only if it's possible) with this information. \n\nhttp://wolfstone.halloweenhost.com/TechBase/flktch_FlickerTechniques.html

No, you need to get a fire wire port.  You should be able to get a firewire PCI card with 4 or so ports for around $20.

Best to check out the technical documentation on it. See sources for a link.

While I might be ripped to shreds by geeks out there in the world for my simple answer, it gets the point across in a basic, understandable way- I hope:\n\nA firewall can be either a physical piece of hardware designed to go between your computer and a broadband connection that is always on, such as a cable modem. It can also be a software installation that runs in the background while you go about your business. Either way, it is a system that is made to recognize inquiries from within your computer (such as spyware secretively installed by other software, a website, or an email) trying to report on you, or inquiries from the outside, by other people.\nVirus protection is a piece of background software that is designed to look for specific information related to specific 'infections' and is comparing data at a very low level to a known infection database (in most cases). This software is scanning everything that goes in or out for the slightest resemblance to something it thinks looks similar to the malicious code it knows, and it regularly updates to keep on top of new bugs.\n\nSpyware protection scans for tracking devices, such as cookies- little bits of data that specifically designate YOU, left in a specific place so your activity can be followed. It also looks for software one might install intentionally (such as a toolbar to help you get good prices while shopping on the internet) that quietly installs the bad stuff to track your purchases. These spyware are generally tools that collect demographics to target you for future consumer interest. They find out you collect teacups and then send information regarding teacups to you by different methods, or sell your teacup likings to others so they can market to you.   My favorite for protection against this is Spybot Search and Destroy, and it's FREE!\n\nIn a sense, you are going through one portal when connected, but that portal is really your connection- the phone line or cable line, etc. This can transmit data, no matter the shape- think highway, data being vehicles. Broadband is a huge 6 lane highway, while the phone line is a country road- much more data can travel at the same time. Your browser- the software that puts that data into a form we recognize, is only limited by the performance of your connection speed and your computer hardware. Internet Explorer can open multiple windows so that you can look at many sites at once. Firefox (available free for download, highly recommended: www.mozilla.com) opens multiple sites in 'tabs' within one window, saving you from an overloaded taskbar. If you have AOL, you are accustomed to viewing everything within a single software presentation, and it's harder to recognize that your machine is free to move about the internet without the constraints of AOL- one must experiment to see how different it can be.\n\nI just explained all of this to my Mother, and hopefully I made sense to you- I've been known to make things perfectly opaque...\n\nCheers!

If you are using a digital camcorder you will need a firewire port on your pc and some video editing software.

IEEE 1394 (called firewire by apple) has a max transmission rate of 400 Mbps, a new standard is supposed to be coming out thats going to take the tranmission speed way up, but I nor anyone else I know has heard much about it.\n\nUSB 2.0 has a faster transmission rate of 480 Mbps, which is a definate advantage, also usually you'll find more devices support high speed USB over Firewire, as well as most computers (from like 97-98) have USB ports, and 2.0 is backward compatable to work with the older standard. Over the two, I'd pick USB 2.0 just beacause the techology is so widely used now its probably going to advance more

Need more information to give you an intelligent answer?\n\nCPU speed; RAM speed and amount; connection types, USB 1.1 or 2.0,  firewire, etc.; HD Size, type(s); Video card(s), and any other pertinent specifications?

you can see it in the Device manager. expand USB-Controller and if there is an entry USB 2.0-Root-Hub then you have USB 2.0.\n\nconcerning a pcmcia/USB 2.0 adapter - if you don't need a firewire connection you better go for a 2 port USB 2.0 card like this one\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Brand=8281&N=50008281&Submit=ENE&Manufactory=8281&Description=pcmcia+usb+2%2E0&Ntk=all\nkeep in mind that most likely that card does not run together with a wireless pcmcia card.\n\nedit:\nand forget the above answer, you cannot upgrade USB 1.0 or 1.1 ports to 2.0 by using another driver.

It depends on if the maker of the card ever made Firewire drivers for Win98.\n\nI know that the Audigy 1 card had firewire, and it also has full support 98se drivers.\n\nHowever, my question is why would you want to use an OS which is essentially 8 years old?

Some people.  Yes you can connect them via Firewire.  Put the files you want to transfer in a shared folder, or share the folder they are currently in.  It should be as simple as plug and play, both Mac and PCs running Windows XP support transfers of files via Firewire.  Note, you can't do this with USB 2.0 unless you have a network enabled USB 2.0 connection, it's a special USB cable you have to buy, basically it has networking brains in it.  Firewire has this ability built in.

$50 for an $80 GB hard drive is a decent deal. I'm not sure what you're asking though because you asked two very different questions. \n\nDo you need an 'enclosure' for it? Well, if it didn't come with an enclosure, that is, a case for it to sit in, then how is it an 'external' hard drive? The only thing that separates an ex. hdd from an in. hdd is the fact that it has a case that can be plugged in to a computer via firewire or USB. So, if you bought a 80 GB hdd for $50 with no enclosure, then it could be used for an internal hdd just the same. Either way, $50 isn't a bad deal. \n\nMaxtor is a pretty good brand. If you want to make it an external hdd, you need to invest in an enclosure-- would might cost around $20-$30. Still, an 80 GB ex. hdd for $80 is cheaper than a brand new one. Firewire is faster...

If this is a PCI firewire card and it came with drivers for your operating system it should work in any motherboard that has a free pci slot. Here is a link showing a motherboard that has pci slots\n\nhttp://www.oek.dk/computergruppen/pics/pci_slot.jpg\n\nIf it is a PCI Express card, then you would need to find out if the motherboard has a pci express slot.\n\nAlso look on the literature for the card to see if it has any particular hardware requirements to work properly.\n\nGood luck.
