Yeah, if you camera is firewire capable, use it. It is the fastest way of transferring data(although it is comparable to USB 2.0). Firewire is just more common right now.

Any firewire(IEEE 1394) card will work. It's a standard protocol.

Many more chances for error if capturing in real time. Best to buffer it.

Fast processor, a lot of memory and a large harddrive are neccessities.
