Default Firewire Express Question
Is there any disadvantage to using an express card for firewire rather than it being hard wired on the mother board? My recording system needs firewire to work and it would seem a great deal of the laptops I am looking at don't come with the port anymore.

Thanks,
Lyxtwing

Other than the fact that there will be a card sticking out of the laptop, I can't see any disadvantage to using an expresscard. The data rates may be a tiny bit slower but certainly nothing noticeable between the two.
