| 522405 | 2007-02-03 21:28:00 | If I install a pci firewire adapter card in my pc that theoritically gives me 400 mbps,how does this work if the pci bus max thruput is 133 mbps? | muddy (11856) | ||
| 522406 | 2007-02-03 23:20:00 | The bus speed of the PCI has nothing to do with the 400 of the firewire card. It'll still run fast if u use it for something like a DV cam. |

| 522407 | 2007-02-04 03:11:00 | I would think it may depend on the item as well .. some DV cams may be faster than others via testing .. If its a mem card reader then it depends on the speed of that actual card. For HDD, I get a eSATA, lappies can get PCMCIA or Express Card (I think). Desktop PCs can get PCI card or converter cable with bracket for port. |

You are mixing up your units - firewire is 400megabits/sec, and the PCI bus is 133Megabytes/sec. 133MBytes/sec = 1064MBits/sec. | Erayd (23) | ||
