I have a Compaq Presario 5000 and I'm thinking about buying a firewire card so that I can put my stuff from my video camera on the PC. First of all, would I be able to do this? If so, I'm confused to where the card would be installed (ie: back, front, etc). Finally, if you happen to know, which card do you recommend. Thanks so much for your help, it really means a lot to me.

Along with a Firewire cable if the card doesn't come with one:

It plugs into a PCI slot on your motherboard, very easy to install, google for some instructions.
