Does the speed of an SD card matter?

I was looking at the Corsair 133x SD 2GB card from ZipZoomfly.com for 50 dollars after a 20 dollar rebate and they showed that the read and write speeds are so much faster than say a 50x from Sandisk. Does that matter? Should I get SD cards with faster write/read speeds?

Try searching the Storage Card forum here. From my experience, after 50x, you won't notice any difference on your Axim. However, in a USB 2.0 SD card reader, the 133x card will run rings around the 50x card. I recently upgraded from a 512 MB (50x) SD card to a Transflash 4 GB (133x) one. On my Axim, I don't notice any difference at all in write and read speeds. However, when I transfer mp3's via my card reader, it's like twice as fast now.
