i like my Edirol FA-66. simple, cheap, no drivers needed for Mac, bus-powered. it doesn't have a software mixer, but that doesn't bother me.

I have a PreSonus Firebox. Firewire recording, no drivers necessary on Mac. It works flawlessly and it's a good sturdy design. No latency problem at all.

thx guys. been looking around and the m-audio audiophile 2496 doesnt look bad for the price.
EDIT: Hm the presonus looks very nice and is not completely over the top priceways.

i give a +1 for the firebox as well,
only drawback is that since the MB/MBP core2duos
change of the firewire port design it want start up via firewire anymore... once it started up, using the PSU (or using a self made battery pack) it will run on the firewire port only...
it's a bit annoying, otherwise the card is probably the best choice for the money you pay.
