I want to get a CF card a nice one. I was looking at Sandisk Ultra IIGB CF but it was almost $500!!

Don't Panic!

I did. I like it. I used a different merchant though but you got a better price.

Still thinking about it. Is it any good, or really good? Waiting for more input.

If you're going to spend that much, you might as well get the Sandisk 4 GB CF card for around $270. There's not much of a difference in speed unless you're using a high-end digital camera, and you get more space.

Where do I get a 4GB Ultra Sandisk for $270?

It's just the regular CF card which costs around $270. The previous poster was simply saying that there's little reason to get an Ultra for a PDA. The higher speeds would be more useful for a digital camera.

You can get a SanDisk 4GB Ultra II Compact Flash card for $262.49 delivered:

I bought one a couple weeks ago when they were $307 delivered (still a great price compared to all the competitors) and am enjoying it.

They also have 2 GB Ultra IIs for $139.99 delivered.

Now if only they sold the 8 GB card for $525, I would be all over it! :D

I've ordered from eCost a few times before and have had no problems.

But in this case, why pay $276 for a regular 4GB CF card when you can get the faster Ultra II card from Dell for $262.49?

Understandable. They have some shady sales practices, but they're usually reliable to deliver on what's ordered.
