Thoughts on Syba?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815124072

What I like is that it has netive OSX support and runs well in hackintosh, I need a hackintosh/OSX compatible card (apparently the TI chipsets do well here). I also need PCI-E (no PCI, I have the Rampage Extreme IV mobo), and I need firewire 800.

It doesn't say Windows 7 64-bit compatibility which I am dual booting into, and need that... but I am assuming it will work since it says Vista 64-bit?

Anyway, thoughts on this brand/this card and the price point? Is there a better option?

The manufacturer of the board itself doesn't really matter compared to who makes the actual Firewire chip. It's a TI in this case, so you're golden. TI Firewire chips are pretty much universally considered to be the best.
