Is there really significant difference in peformance for Wizard, or should I save my money for other toys?

does the speed of the minisd card really matters?

Yes, the speed is very important espcially if you go up to 2GB.
I have 2 miniSD 2GB cards, one is regular no brand and the other is TOPRAM 120X.
With the latter it runs pretty well while in regular it is lagging and crawling.
If you consider using something like TomTom (which is space intensive), you might consider buying the 2GB miniSD.

I was under the rather strong impression that the device was the limiting factor and a fast memory card was pointless in a pda. Also, because its obviously Random Access Memory the size wouldn't matter - it doesn't flick through sequentially to find the data...

But I might be wrong.

I had a SanDisk miniSD card, and I upgraded to the TopRam 2gb card. I can tell a difference in speed when taking pictures and looking at pictures using the "pictures & videos" application.
also, my SanDisk had an issue where the 9100 wouldn't "see" it after it was re-inserted. I had to soft-reset to mount the card properly. My TopRam doesn't have this issue.
