    Does it make a difference, like if your connecting a sound card ect?

    Would a 2.0 connection not be equally as good for doing live stuff?

    It depends on what you are doing exactly. You're always safer with Firewire though. It has a much higher data transfer rate than USB.

    Firewire 400 Mbs p/s

    USB 2.0 480 Mbs p/s

    :v:


    For use in sound cards

    What advantage could a forewire connection have??

    FireWire, built from the ground up for speed, uses a "Peer-to-Peer" architecture in which the peripherals are intelligent and can negotiate bus conflicts to determine which device can best control a data transfer

    USB 2.0 uses a "Master-Slave" architecture in which the computer handles all arbitration functions and dictates data flow to, from and between the attached peripherals (adding additional system overhead and resulting in slower, less-efficient data flow control)

    FireWire remains the performance leader. And is the best choice for DV camcorders, digital audio and video devices, external hard drives, high-performance DVD burners and any other device that demands continuous high performance throughput.

    Can you get some sort of hub that will allow you to plug into the 2.0 slot
    and let you connect firewire devices??

    You wouldn't get the firewire performance with that Hub, it would just slow things down even further because of the conversion from firewire>usb>pc. Plus I dunno if they even exist.
