The dpreview review of the E-500 showed a wide difference between differnt 
cards for RAW continuous burst write.

4 GB SanDisk Ultra II  CF        4883 KB/sec
2 GB Lexar Pro 80x CF           5689 KB/sec
1 GB SanDisk Extreme III CF   9854 KB/sec

I just bought a 1GB Ultra II myself; half the price of the Extreme III, but 
I almost regret my decision, as RAW write speed on my E-500 seems pretty 
slow.

The Extreme III is expensive, but evidently leaves the other cards in the 
dust for RAW Write speed.
