If using a Firewire express card for laptop, what to look for?

[dastrick]

OK. So I'm going to buy a laptop for recording. I use Presonus firewire interfaces.

I know that if I was to buy a laptop with onboard firewire, I would want one with a TI chipset. But, what if I'm going to be using my firewire express card in the laptop? The card is a SIIG with a TI chipset.

What do I need to be looking for, specifically, in the laptop? Does the ExpressCard chipset need to be TI?

And btw, I'm 99% sure that I'm getting a Lenovo/IBM.

Thanks,

the siig or belkin expresscard firewire card with ti chips is exactly what you want.

Yeah. I'm pretty confident that the SIIG is going to work, especially with the Lenovo line. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing I should be looking for as far as the laptop goes.

Thanks,
