In a SanDisk Ultra card, information travels at a speed of 186,000 miles a second - - that's fast!

SanDisk Ultra flash cards are rated at 9MB/sec write, and 10MB/sec read, and claim a low power drain. There's no "X" rating. (Their 1GB CF card won the race on DPReview.com.)

Most of us have digital cameras, which seem to work better with a faster card.
A plain SanDisk 1GB SD card was packaged with my X50v. I can't find a rating on those, and it doesn't matter in the Axim - - only that it works.

What devices function better with faster cards, whether speed, or power drain? Would a card like this benefit the battery performance of the X50v?

And what are the better cards?
