Ah, but the E-1 does take some advantage of the Extreme III's.  A quick
test of dumping the 12 shot raw buffer reveals the following:

Ultra II:    35 seconds to complete, 3570Kb/s
Extreme III: 25 seconds to complete, 4998Kb/s

Not quite the 9Mb/s achieved by the E-300, but still much better than the
3.5Mb/s performance of the Ultra II.  A 40% increase in speed is still quite
significant.

The tests were performed on an E-1 with the latest firmware using 2GB cards.
