Be careful if you decide to go with the FireWire version. Check with your retailer that you can return it if needed. I only say this because I could not get it to work at all with my system (see below). Nothing but sync errors and timeouts all over the place. I wasn't the only one either! I ended up going for the much cheaper PCI Element which works great and which IMHO is much better value if you don't mind losing the MasterX3. Plus you can always add the mastering plugin later fairly cheap.
On another note, to the guy above who is having problems with drift on his Virus b, sounds like you need to upgrade your midi interface or otherwise debug this sync issue, as I have very tight audio to midi sync with my Virus b. This was not always the case. A few years back I had similiar problems when using a MidiMan USB interface.
