How much do Firewire cards/ports cost?

[Zachary]

Sorry for the wrong forum action, but I need to know quick.



I got a new camera for Christmas and I can't upload stuff the way I did with my old one so I have to buy firewire stuff. I REALLY want to get everything uploaded and edited tomorrow night...I dunno why there's the rush, but I do. I'll have stuff from my park, so that should be pleasing to anyone who's seen stuff from there in previous posts...Hahaha.

Help on installing it and putting the port into my computer would be appreciated also.

I need the port too though, I don't even have a plug for it

It comes with it bro. Very cheap.

[casanova]

yea it comes with the card. the wire is usually more then the card itself depending on how long you buy them

Ya I have to do it on my dads computer but I am going to get one soon for mine. You can get it at wal-mart bc I saw it today there but didnt have no money with me.

I got this one for 20 bucks: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006B8C3/qid=1136694005/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl147/102-0166340-1244100?n=507846&s=pc&v=glance
It works great, but the video editing software that comes with it sucks. It isn't required, though. To install them, take the side cover off your PC and put the card into the PCI slot (usually white things that your graphics card and stuff plugs into). Push it in firmly and evenly and then start up your computer. If it doesn't make a beeping sound or fail to start up, good. Then just install the drivers.
