firewire pci card

[Agonal]

I am going to be purchasing a focusrite saffire pro 40 soon. I do not have a firewire input on my desktop that was rebuilt with all new parts. My question is there specific kind of pci card I need to buy to be compatible with my new interface?

best bet is to stick with the ones Digidesign recommends because they do the strictest hardware testing.

SIIG, ADS Pyro, are what they recommend. Belkin and LaCie also make some that are high quality, probably cheaper & easier to find as well.
