Should I look for the 1394b MOB or it's not worth it. Also a CPU paste question

1Well I'm wondering seeing how Gigabyte has the 1394b (800) Firewire while the rest of the MOB's for A64 still use the old 1394 (400) version. Does current DV equipment take advantage of more bandwith?

Since I'm making the move to A64, I'm wondering if I should use the thermal paste that comes with the HS/F or I sholuld by something on the side?
 
I personally am going to use the Arctic Silver 5 (when my Giga MB arrives). As far as DV is concerned, products are starting to appear slowly that support it.

As of exactly right now, I'd say most don't support it and 1334a is fine for now. But if you want to think ahead for the future, its where things are going.... since its backwards compatable, who cares? its a great to have for the future when the products do become mainstream.
 
All of the consumer level dv equipment, cameras etc transfer dv in real time and the camera nor any software I've seen increases this, so as of now it would be useless, but say for instance in transfering pix it would be great if they allowed transfer in firewire vs usb. An ipod would be great too if the software would support it at.

Exactly that's why I put the question. If the image is better just by doing one pass without audio and one with audio to add it to the non audio capture, wouldn't mean that a broader band would improve the quality of capture. So would a DV camera send as much as the connection allows or is it stuck at the max of 400 allowed by the 1394a.

I really don't want to get a PCI version since my PCI slot's are kind of filled. That's why I need integrated Firewire and Ethernet.

Why not get a PCI card? More ports, and increased mobo selection.

Because you are restricted to PCI (limitations in terms of available bandwidth mostly); I could be wrong though...

You're restricted like that whether it is on the board or on a card. Consumer mobos only have a single PCI bus, and those extra onboard goodies are on it.
