    My E4300 shipped in October with the old Firewire 400 (IEEE 1394). Does anybody know if Dell is shipping Firewire 800 (IEEE 1394b) yet and if the E4300 can be updated? Firewire 800 is supposed to be twice as fast as Firewire 400 :eek:

    Cannot be upgraded. The connector is different, so it'd require a different motherboard..

    I don't recall seeing any non-Apple notebooks with Firewire 800.
