im convinced because of the massive amount of internet posts about the subject- when someone here asked me if i had the TI chipset....i said huh? ....then i googled..... and holy shit are there alot of posts about this issue-

both the laptop and the Tower have dedicated graphics - so dedicated graphics may help with the issue....but is clearly not the end all solution

from what ive read,no it doesnt-
even if the express Firewire card has TI chipset..........the chipset for the express slot READER is not TI....so it makes no difference....again...this is what google tells me and the 4 PC computers i have tested with confirm this info 

ADK is cpu company that specializes in creating a pro audio DAW in laptop configuration- meaning they go the extra mile to gain the cpu components that help the firewire stream ....Texas Instrument chipset being one of those

but fukin hell.....$1600....
