Hi All,
I am looking to up grade.. can some one recommend a MB that has BOTH PCI and PCI-e slots. Firewire would be nice too!! Thank you in advance for all your suggestions

pretty much any current mainstream MB will have both. maybe not 'any', but nearly all I've reviewed support both PCI and PCI e in some way

ASUS is reasonable place to start a search for an audio friendly board and offerings ranging from $70 dollar AMD to $450 Intel will support both pci and pci e

I don't think I have experienced any significant problems (audio wise) with any of the ASUS boards I've used over, I'd say certainly a decade. But there are enough variations on the theme and have little enough info, regarding your other specific requirements, that suggesting a DSED-DC/SAS 771 over M2AM-AM 740G isn't possible.

Foxconn 975X7AB-8EKRS2H has PCI, PCI-e and TI firewire (again this isn't a recomendation that it will work for you merely a board that meats your stated inquiry

All new Mobos have both

I would recomend any mobo that has a intel socket as they are currently leading the CPU market. I wouldent use the intergrated sound, Buy a sound card that has a firewire port on. this solves both problems.
