[PD] firewire is dead?

[patrick]

hi all,

i have a firepod 1010 firewire soundcard, i am using linux / jack. the 
new motherboard doesn't have firewire. what to do?

also will i be able to lower the latency even more if i have a faster 
cpu? or it's really the firewire / soundcard limitation? what it the 
lowest latency soundcard for linux available on the market? i might 
consider to make a move towards usb.
