actually firewire is superior to usb2. Firewire has an onboard processor that greatly reduces cpu load, while USB doesn't have such a thing resulting in increased cpu overhead. It's essentially the difference between SCSI and IDE, sure scsi is a lot better but it's generally a lot more expensive. USB2 should be fine providing you have a bit of cpu power to spare, which on most modern systems isn't a problem
