The speed on the axim is not too important. If you plan to transfer a lot of large files like music or movies, you should buy an external USB 2.0 card reader anyways. It takes forever to transfer an 800 MB movie with a slow card. That's really the real benefit of getting a fast card. Using the axim to transfer large files is very slow. I don't recommend it.

Also, I'd say a 40x card is more than adequate. I have a 32x SD card. It takes less than 2 min to transfer a 350 MB video file using a USB 2.0 card reader, which is fast enough for me.
