Got a client that wants me to install MC on his compaq nx9600 laptop.

I see that it's got an  ExpressCard/54 expansion slot.

I was going to recommend that he buys a SIIG2-port firewire 800 card. Here's a link:

Is this a good card?

Is this a supported Laptop?

How much Ram do you recommend?

Thanks
