Ok, I might have made a boo boo here.

After talking to Canon, the tech said, for wildlife photography, if you
are not interested in speed, any card will do.

Any card.

So, at egghead.com, I bought 2 Kingston 1gb CF/1024. Their lowest
quality/rated card for $113. not including a $30 rebate.
..
If I'm reading the charts right, it will take 2 seconds to write a raw
file to this card. That will certainly create a data bottle neck,
correct?

How long will I have to wait to take pictures between shots?

Sorry, for being so lame, I'm on the video side of photography and
these numbers don't seem to penetrate well.

Thanks,
Jon

It depends on the camera (buffer size) and how fast you shoot.

I use slow memory in a Canon 300D and after 3 or 4 raw shots in continous
mode I might have to wait for the buffer to empty.

Other cameras have different size buffers and can do more or less depending
on buffer size.
