Technicaly, those are quite different beasts. The PCI will *always* have less latency than firewire. Firewire doens't guarantee the bandwidth available, and there also protocol overhead etc. it's great for bulk IOs, but, like USB, the latency is omnipresent.
On a PCI card with a good driver, you have virtualy no latency (well, the size of your buffers) and also zero CPU impact if the card is bus master and uses DMA properly. -------------------- |
