Default Firewire in a PC ?

I'm looking for a laptop with a built in firewire connection, but don't want a Macintosh. Does anyone know of a good model?

I'd rather not use a PCMCIA card that supports FireWire.

Thanks Brian.
I have an audio interface with a 6 pin firewire port. (Motu 8pre)
Do you know if I could I use a 4 pin to 6 pin cable for recording audio?

Although i cant say 100% so someone else that knows more on firewire may help you out

If that doesn't work, you can always buy a firewire PC card.
