Is there a better deal on a 512 MB Compact Flash card than this?

Is a usb 2.0 memory card reader going to make a difference over a 1.1 usb memory card reader?

or are we limited by the speed of the memory cards?

What are the differences between USB 2.0 and USB 1.1? Add Your Notes
Basically, USB 2.0 includes everything that USB 1.1 offers and adds a high-speed mode, which runs at 480Mbps. USB 1.1 supports two speed modes: 1.5 and 12Mbps whereas USB 2.0 has three of them: 1.5, 12 and 480Mbps. USB 2.0 also uses the same USB 1.1 compliant cables to connect high-speed devices. However, classic USB hubs will slow down USB 2.0 devices. In addition, a USB 2.0 host controller is required to enable the high-speed connection with a USB 2.0 device.

USB 2.0 hubs are now given a lot more work to do than USB 1.1 as they need to handle all the traffic from three different speed mode devices. Plugging a USB 1.1 device to a USB 2.0 hub is okay, but connecting a USB 2.0 device to a USB 1.1 hub is prohibited.

I use 2.0 and I find it much faster. I added 2.0 usb ports to my PC tower
