Here's a lesson learned: never trust advice from the guys at Fry's Electronics.

They said my cradle was USB 2.0. I actually had to buy a 2.0 slot for my PC (it only had the 1.1 slots in the motherboard)

As I understand it... the card reader is totally separate from the X5 cradle. You connect the card reader to the USB 2.0 port, load your CF or SD card in the reader, do a file transfer, and then put the CF/SD card back in the X5.

Presto? Fast movie transfers?
