Memory card questions?

Yes. The CF cards run a lot faster!
Kingston SD cards are one of the fastests and aswell cheap cards around. The
best thing to do (apart from swiching to CF cards) would be buying Panasonic
SD card.

I might try a Panasonic card. The reason I even bothered with a SD card was to
have as semi-permanent place to put installed programs, leaving as much
main memory free as possible.
Thanks.

There are websites that show speed comparisons of different cards- digital
photography sites seem best. CF has been faster, but SD has been catching
up. I still prefer CF for transporting, the contacts are protected far
better than SD, and over 5 years of use I've never broken one even when
stood on, never mind just dropping.
