The Viking 512 MB CompactFlash Card is $74.99 with free shipping after a $25 rebate


Amazon also has a hot deal on the Viking 1 GB CompactFlash Card (CF1GB) for $149.99 with free shipping after a $50 rebate

Amazon prices do not stay low for too long so get it while it is hot. Remember no tax in most states.

Astounded EEG

be [i]extremely[/i] careful with Viking rebates. [i]read every line on the rebate form before you order,[/i] and then mail the thing as soon as your card arrives.

I have 2 viking cards 256Mb and 512MB for over a year now with no problems. I hooked up my father in law with a 1 GB a while back with no problems.

I have not heard of viking problems, now sandisk I know of.

The cards are okay, but my last rebate took 16 weeks. I've stopped buying Viking with rebates, and jumped on a 1GB Kingston for a few more bucks.
