The lists are accurate. I just built a new machine and went with the below card. At first, all cards I tried would not work with the drivers that came with it. You have to go into the SO folder and select the driver from their folder. Total B.S. I know, but that's how I finally got my 2x FireStudio projects to see the card.

Hope this helps.

+ 1 for the linked Startech above. They are the only cards I have used, and have had both Expresscard and PCIe cards for my computers.

Bottome line, it all hinges on the FW chipset in the card. From my experience, avoid anything that doesn't have a Texas Instruments chip. You may have to go to the manufacturers website for that information. Sometimes places like Amazon do not have that information in the tech specs on their site, but they usually have a link to the manufacturer right there.

Thank you both for the quick reply. While on this subject, should we upgrade our computer with a good sound card, or will the standard on-board chip be enough for recording? Also, if we need to upgrade the sound card, are there any compatibility guidelines we should be aware of? Thank you very much for your help.
