I have a usb cable that came with my new digital camera. I seen someone had a clearance on a 1394 cable with the connector on the other end that my camera accepts. Would the computer recognize this as well as the usb and would I notice an increase in speed since the 1394 is faster than my usb 1.1 ports - or is it limited by the speed of the camera/memorycard?

I didn't find any mention of using a firewire port in the camera's manual so thought I'd ask here.

Thanks guys.
