Default 512MB CF Card - $131.44 After Rebate

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005MIS8/jasondunn-20

Wow! These things are getting so cheap. 8O Those of you getting the Dell Axim with the integrated CF slots have to pick up this half-gig card.

enemy2k2,

Is there anyone in the US that you can ship it to, then have them send it on?

Yep, I posted that three days ago in the front page thread about 512 MB CF cards. And, if they're still accepting the MAPPCTBANK35 coupon, it's $5 cheaper still. :-)

Too bad I bought the card a week earlier when it was $14 more. :-(

Can anyone comment on positive or negative experiences with Viking? I've heard less than flattering experiences with the performance of Viking flash media.

I'm considering a Transcend 512MB CF for $171. Transcend performance is known to be blazing fast compared to other Type I CFs (at least according to www.dpreview.com).

Default Viking Media

I would share my experiences with three of their CF cards. I have had not one single problem in three years.

I cannot say the same for any manufacturer of SD cards. I have experienced corrupt data and had to reformat several times. Have tried three mfgs, and all had the same problem-even using SoftWinter Storage Tools. I would note that Viking has not been one of those problems.

So I give a thumbs up to Viking products, for a bargain for the money!

I have 4 Viking CF cards, 3-128 mb, 1 256 mb.

I use them all the time in my PPC, desktop (to transfer data in place of a zip disk). Never had any trouble with any of them. I also have half dozen from other manufacturers with no trouble either.
