Hi,

I have a 256Mb Viking. It's not particular fast (just a 10x) but adequate for the MP3 and videos that I've tried with it.

Thanks

Lexar are one of the best right ?

I am having a fine time with viking, but you can get it for about $150 if you wait for the right moment on Amazon...

As for speed, plays video and audio without a hitch (mini's patches).

Good luck...

Out of curiousity, has anyone done a comparison chart on cf cards? There are so many out there and they all seem to have pros and cons. Just wondering if anyone has done a serious comparison on same size cards, with price, speed etc?

I have one and feel the same.

I did purchase mine through Amazon with a rebate and ended up with a bad sector 6 months later (no lst data, just couldn't write to entire card) and Viking sent me a brand new cf within the week.
