| Which laptop brands use Texas Instruments firewire chipsets? I'm about to be a RME FF800 user. I'm searching for a good laptop. Dell M90 seems to be a nice one but as far as I know the firewire chipset on the laptop should be Texas Instruments to have the lowest latency. Does anyone know which brands uses Texas Instruments firewire chipset? I made a search but couln't reach that info on the net. Also I will need an Express Card to use FF800 with 1394b since Dell has none. Is SIIG fine? |

| Belkin and ADS. ADS is one of the Best FW Card makers out, top Choice for DV Systems... ADS Pyro 1394DV. Siig's are good but not all Siig's implimen Ti FW only some of them so you have to becareful Best of luck ~

| Thanks Ashofapheonix, I have another question. If I use ADS or Belkin express card do I still need a built-in Texas Instrument firewire chipset in laptop? |

| HI, the Dells do NOT have built in TI chipset. becasue of the Ricoh chipset they do use your performance will be poor. you can buy a TI chipset Express card and this wil help but not by much. your best bet is buying a laptop that has built in TI chipset. Scott ADK |

| Which laptop brands has TI chipset Ok, So which brands use TI chipset? I can't find a way to reach that type of info. Digidesign suggest HP nw9440. Does this mean it has TI chipset. |

| My HP nc8430 uses the TI chipset, and works great. I had to send my dell back, because firewire simply would not work properly. |

| What about HP nw9440? That looks like a good piece. Actually HP claims it would work as a workstation. But what about the firewire chipset. Does it also use TI? |

| >ADK Pro-Audio (JCSchild's company) has Ti Chipset. Probably not in his best interest to recommend them. Their Q1s around 1600$-1700 $ with 2 gigs of ram or so, and a Core 2 DUO. I'd go with that, it'd be configured for audio, and you can send him what ever software or interface your planning to use and he'd configure it for you. Another option is buy something that is Digidesign Certified for Firewire interfaces. HP's Work Station line of notebooks a lot of times have texas instruments chipsets. I'd look closely see if you can find advanced technical specifications Theirs also always the Mac book/Mac book pro. A laptop is a good candidate for serious audio if it has a Texas Instruments All in One Chipset. and If it has built in firewire Texas instruments Firewire.

| Thanks.. Thanks everyone, Once again I see that if you have a question about pro audio, you find your answer in Gearslutz.. As I stated before I'm looking for a laptop to use with RME FF800. Since RME doesn't recomend one I'll go with what digidesign recomends. I'm planning to record live performances with this laptop.. I hope I won't be disapointed.. will notify you guys when I buy my toys and start pushing to see the limits.. |

| I also use the FF800 and read that statement about TI Firewire. Does anyone know what brand apple uses in the titanium G4 powerbooks? I occasionally have CPU overloads with any program I use with the FF. Wondering if the FW was the problem.

| i'm after a new laptop, and the ADK machines are among the most competitively priced i have seen. but, as with every other audio computer company in the US (and there are lots), they don't seem to ship to the UK. is there really no way i can get a laptop from ADK (or rain, or anyone who isn't dell or other non-specialist company) shipped to the UK? |
