I was doing some more snooping around when I came across some interesting information that kinda defies the speed class ratings set by sandisk. here is a message board discussion that goes over it briefly (maybe the best deal is the tiger direct 8gb class 4 card (has to be class 4 by sandisk)

!?!?
Looks like I'd better get get a new card asap.
essentially the class four (4 mb per second) cards by sandisk are being benchmarked at a whopping 10mb per second write and 9 mb per second read. !!!! However when they start making a "high speed class" rated card expect them to sell the "class 4" cards with lower speeds and the "class 6" at a much higer price.
