A Question About Firewire Cards...

[TheChemist]

I'm getting an iPod soon, and i need to get a Firewire card. I have a couple of Q's.

What kind of prices am I looking at?
Are their OS compatibility issues, or does it not really matter?
What kind should I get?

Thanks.

Cards (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=51) These arent exactly cards....they go in a drive bay and i have no clue how you connect them to your mobo...but you do! The ultra ones look nice and are only 20 bux

Sorry but I am not taking out either my CD-ROM or CD-RW drive. Any other options?

its uses a pci slot, and a got one a walmart of all places for like 12 bucks, it was marked down because someone bought it and brought it back, think originally cost like 20 something
