Topic: What is the best way to add FW800 ports to a computer?

PCI card?
PCI express card?

Is it true that you won't benefit from the FW800 if you only have one FF800?

I?d prefer PCI Express - but PCI should work, too.

Yes - RME has even written this in their manual.
You won?t benefit from FW800 as long as you only have one Fireface and nothing else on the Firewire-Bus.
