was wondering if anyone had any links or any suggestions on what the fastest SD card is right now. im trying to look into one cause im not satisfied with my sandisk 512 card. i have programs running from the SD card and it take a bit to load up and i was just wondering if there is anything faster since we are in an age of impatient poeple

anyways yea thanks for the input.

If you want the fastest WRITE speed, and that's probably what you want, and money is no object, then you want to get the Panasonic 1 GB SD card. It's going to be about $200 with shipping.

I'm not convinced that the Panasonic is really that fast. What is it rated? even 60X is theoretically only 9MB/sec, and Sandisk's Extreme II and ATP's high speed cards both have that rating.

You're not going to get a whole lot more performance with those SD cards because the SD slot is just so darn slow anyway. But you could try ATP or Sandisk Extreme...i really wish we knew the real-world speed of Lexar's 32X cards, since their normal SD cards can write even faster than that.
