   I use a Nikon D100. I originally got it with a 4x Lexar 512mb card.

   Now I need to buy a 1gig card to expand my storage capacity for traveling,
   and the friendly salesperson at my local photo store wants to sell me a 80x
   Lexar card because, he contends, 80x cards accelerate all I/O to the card.

   I remember trying once a faster Lexar card (which I lost since) -- can't
   remember its speed? -- and it did not resulted in faster writes inside the
   camera: after 6 shots of RAW, the D100 takes forever to dump the content of
   the buffer to the card.

   What should I do?

   Buy a 4x card? Buy a 80x card? Toss the camera (not really an option!)?
   Change girl friend? Buy a 2 gig card? Are those Hitachi 2gig and 4gig
   microdrives any good?
