I am in the process of either buying a DV video editing card (ie Pinnicle DV) or an ATI All in wonder/Nvidia Personal Cinema GeForce. I noticed that ATI's and Nvidia's cards do not include a ilink/firewire port. Will that degrade quality or is firewire just for speed? I mainly use my computer now for games so I was definitly going to upgrade my video card. The ATI 9800 AIW pro is a little to pricey for me but the 9600 AIW XT looks reasonable. It would suck to buy another card just for firewire.
My system specs are:
XP 2500
512 megs DDR 333
120 gig ultra ATA HD
Nvida MX440
MSI K7N2 mobo
Camera is a JVC GR-DVF 11
