Does the express card also > use a non-TI chipset? from what ive read,no it doesnt- even if the express Firewire card has TI chipset..........the chipset for the express slot READER is not TI....so it makes no difference....again...this is what google tells me and the 4 PC computers i have tested with confirm this info ADK is cpu company that specializes in creating a pro audio DAW in laptop configuration- meaning they go the extra mile to gain the cpu components that help the firewire stream ....Texas Instrument chipset being one of those but fukin hell.....$1600....
