When reading the minimum system requirements, be careful to review the supported operating systems. Belkin has not yet developed Windows Vista drivers for this card.

Absolutely plug and play on a Mac, no problems. Great expansion of FW800 ports, if you use them.

I've tried the SIIG FireWire 800 3-Port PCIe - FireWire adapter - 3 ports and for some crazy reason I could not get the adapter to work on my system. I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield, on an ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA LGA 775 ATX Mobo, and G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 and the SIIG adapter was quite fussy-I knew the adapter was installed properly as the firewire 400 port worked just fine, but the 800 wouldn't. I was reluctant at first to try another bad adapter, but changing to this belkin was a breeze. Installation was as easy as sticking it into the PCI slot and installing the drivers and just like that I was transferring my data files from my Seagate 1TB internals to my Maxtor 1TB Onetouch externals at blazing 800 speed. It does make a difference in file transfer. So the lesson to be learned is if at first you don't succeed, change to a different brand because it could make all of the difference.
Good Luck
