Firewire / USB / USB2
- IEEE 1394 interface = FireWire (Apple Inc.) = i.LINK (Sony) = Lynx (Texas Instruments)
- USB en USB2
Although similar in theoretical maximum transfer rate, FireWire 400 tends to have the performance edge over USB 2.0 Hi-Speed in real-world uses, especially in high-bandwidth use such as external hard-drives. The newer FireWire 800 standard is twice as fast as FireWire 400 and outperforms USB 2.0 Hi-Speed both theoretically and practically.

How to boot into 64-bit mode
Hold down the '6' and '4' keys when the Mac starts up (until the Apple log).
Always boot into 64-bit
Edit this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
Insert arch=x86_64 into the Kernel Flags field:
