Hi,
does the Wizard have a maximum transfer speed for access to the miniSD card slot?
I'm looking for a miniSD card, and thinking of whether the Wizard can take advantage of the very high speeds of the latest cards. Is it worth giving the extra money to get a very fast card or not?
Is 150x about the fastest available?

AFAIK 80x is the fastest available miniSD
Im using it (1GB 80x)
Maybe we can do some benchmarks? any good software to test memory?

Don't bother spending extra money for a high speed card. Even going back to the earliest days of PPC's, it's all about the PPC's I/O to the media card. The only real advantages of a high speed card is when using with a digital camera or when using the card in a card reader.
I have a Sandisk 1gb card that runs just fine in my K-JAM. On my 2750, I have a 1GB Lexar sd and 1gb Lexar CF.

Thanks! That's an answer for one of my questions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=252325#252325). Could you please try to help me a little bit more?
Sorry to ask that way...

You won't be able to use the full potential of fast cards. Please read http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921 for my article on all this stuff.

I'm glad I found this thread. I've installed some software onto the miniSD card and I noticed they load slower. The worsest problem is now the soft keyboard selection menu takes a full 7 seconds to pull up. I was thinking about buying a faster miniSD to solve this problem, looks like I'll just have to live with it.
