What's WA (Write Acceleration)?

[Booster]

I'm trying to choose between 2 1GB CF cards for my NZ. One is the 16x Lexar card and the other is the 32X Lexar card with WA (Write Acceleration) Technology. Will they both work in the NZ? And, is the speed difference of any value in the NZ?

Thanks.

"Write Acceleration" is specific for cameras, you probably won't see any difference for a PDA

You *will* see a difference between the 32X and 16X cards, for raw read and write (noticably write) - but it depends on what you want to do whether that matters enough to buy the more expensive card

I get nervous trying unproven high speed cards. So yes, I would make sure that they work first. School is still out as to whether the so called higher speed cards really make much difference.
