My biggest problem has been finding a cheaper motherboard that has a firewire connection. I checked my calendar and the year is 2006, so I couldn't guess why this seems to be a deluxe item.

Now that most high speed peripherals use USB 2.0, firewire serves as little more than a dedicated DV port, which many people don't need. Also, Creative's current sound cards include firewire, so it might be considered redundant to put firewire on a motherboard without built-in audio.
