Title: CF cards.....
Post by: wheresjerry on July 21, 2007, 06:51:21 AM

Looking around to purchase a few more CF cards to tape Vibes in a few weeks, and ran across this site with an unbelievable price for a 4 gig card!  It is about 1/2 the cost advertised .....

Stock up!

I would say that $79 for a 4 gig CF card is NOT a very good price.  there are many 8 gig cards available in the $100 range.
even the SanDisk Ultra II 8 gig CF card is available for $113 here:

(and the SanDisk cards tend to be a little more expensive than other brands)

I grabbed one of these, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211170&ATT=17-507-003&CMP=AFC-C8Junction (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211170&ATT=17-507-003&CMP=AFC-C8Junction).

The price went up a little since I got mine(I paid $126.99).  Great price for a 16GB card. Used it a bunch so far without any problems.
