Hi Bob,  

The "PCI = better for audio" issue was true in the days before FireWire; I'm
running audio (as well as video) streams via FW all the time, and also have
several FW hard drives, and everything runs great. I do a lot of my
professional audio work (voiceover and music recording) on an iMac, and also
use the FW peripherals constantly with my PowerBook.

Nothing wrong with PCI-input, for sure, but with the advent of FW speeds,
the playing field has been leveled....
