Nick,
I haven't tried them yet, but I'm thinking about it.
FWIW, meritline.com has them cheaper than eBay.

hmmm...
well, the wosrt thing that could happen is that it doesn't work and the card gets returned.  I think i'll pull the trigger on that shortly.

me too.  24/96 for shits and giggles...and the ever endless quests for hdd space to store them all.

Well I got a 4GB PQI card, but the MT has problems with it. It says it's not formatted and asks to format it. I do and then the MT says it will reset. When the MT reboots, again it says the media is not formatted, so I'm stuck. Card does read and format on the computer via a card reader though. I've got a service request into M-Audio to address this. So for MT users at least, beware of the PQI cards for now

before my latest hoorah with the mt, this was my same exact issue with a ritek 4gb card i bought. i'm not so sure it's the cards. i've never seen any hardware have this many issues with various brands of media.
