Hello world!
I have read in some russian online magazine an article from the year 2000
about how Firewire and USB 2.0 would perform on Win98SE/2000 computers.They
did few checks (they actually installed external HD's ,using FireWire and
then USB 2.0 controller cards).And after tests they came to conclusion that
even though theoretically USB 2.0 can achieve a greater transfer speeds,but
in a REAL LIFE FireWire was much faster.
So I have few questions here to ask:
1)Is it true and why?
2)From what I knew on Win98 computers one could only use USB 1.0/1.1 ver. or
you can also use USB 2.0?
3) And most important-What about XP? same story? any difference?
4)Are there brand name motherboards with built-in Firewire controller?
5)While in the States,I heard something about FireWire 2.0 standart....? Is
it implemented yet?
Thanks in advance,
