I am a professional photographer and I need the fastest speed possible when copying huge 24meg image files from a memory card to my PC from a Firewire 800 card reader. It has been hard to achieve true 800 firewire on Windows XP. I wanted a card with good drivers and PCIe to maximize the throughput. This card by SIIG is the answer to my prayers. I have had bad experiences using "no name" cards with poor documentation and questionable drivers, but SIIG turns out to be a "real" company with solid products and well written drivers. Highly recommended.
Addendum in October 2011: Even though this particular product is no longer available, I would like to say that it is still serving me well in Windows 7. SIIG is very good at releasing updated drivers for their products and I highly recommend that you look at SIIG products first when you need to add new ports to your PC. I will use their USB 3.0 board just as soon as I get a peripheral that requires it.
