Title: Re: [OT] CompactFlash media speed
I do find transfer rates a little faster with the accelerated cards, but in most cases the price difference doesn’t make it worth the cost. I use a handful of 1 GB cards and an iPOD photo to transfer and dump when traveling.
A new girlfriend is always a good option though.
