ADS Pyro 1394 for Avid

[brimestone]

Hello guys,

My Motherboard doesnt come with a 1394 Port, so i acquired an Addon Card from Ebay, but everytime i try to capture anything from my DVC30(Panasonic) camera
i freeze up my system. i think it has to do with Speed and Chipset.

i was wondering if anyone here had that same situation and how they did the fix?

also i hope that ADS Pyro 1394 Addon Card will fix this for me since im about to acquire one.

anyweys here is my Specs.

The first thing I'd do (even before geting the Pyro card) would be to upgrade to Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2, as Avid doesn't support Home Edition.
