Re: iPAQ 3850 Multi-Media Card

Jayson,

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking 128 MB was kind of small too. Your
comment regarding speed is extremely important as well. I've been
looking at Viking Compact Flash (CF) for $34.99 at TigerDirect.com, but
I'm concerned that it may not be the fastest CF. Lexar claims to have
CF that is 4x, 12x, 32x, and 40x faster than typical CF -- whatever
typical means. The price increases accordingly. What type of CF have
you been using?

Best regards,

Jim Yuzwalk
