Multiple interfaces with a laptop

Hi,
I just got myself set up with Sonar 6 home studio and a Tapco 2 channel firewire interface. In my newbie ignorance I purchased a 3 port firewire PCMCIA card assuming that my laptop didn't have firewire. I came to realize that it does... with a 4 pin connector instead of 6, i did not recognize this as firewire until after I opened the package of the PCMCIA card.

Best Audio Interface for PC Laptop users?

Hey,
So I've got this PreSonus Firebox that I've been using from a few years now on my desktop just fine. But since it is powered by 6 pin firewire, it cannot be used on my HP Laptop (I've tried express cards but they do not work). I'm looking to buy a new interface (Firebox isn't working anymore), but I'm wondering. which one is best for PC Laptop users?

which laptop

I'm finally thinking about a laptop to get but i would like some advice. I'm using pro tools right now for producing and scratch live for djing. i really want to laptop that i dont have to worry about crashing or some b.s failing me... any advice would be great

thanks

Horrible noise through monitors when laptop is plugged in...

I have tried all different types of connections and I get horrible noise when the laptop is plugged in. I have tried plugging up stuff all over the studio, putting them on power grids, and what not. Is there anyway to get around this problem. I figure the converter is creating some crazy feedback.
