RE: Slow firewire file transfers

Thanks Freddy.

The pci-e card I have is brand new, purchased and installed after the
reinstall of vista. I had a PCI card and I thought that was the problem so I
switched. Therefore it's not the card itself, but I have a feeling it's a
driver issue. Two cards, same slow speeds.
