it have any slowdown becasue i heard that the SC Lite reads so fast that theres no need for an ultra II, is that true??? Or would it be more smart to wait for a 2gb microsd ultra II sandisk??


And where is a good place to buy a sandisk 2gb micro sd?
Thanx

I'd like to know this too.

i remember reading that there is a very small amount of slowdown, but it is unnoticeable in almost every game

Here is some info totally stolen from fifthe1ement  Review - SuperCard Lite at gbatemp.net

It is somewhere on this site but could not find it. :oops:

SanDisk Ultra II 1GB microSD:
Spec. Speeds - Read = 66X (10MB/sec) �" Write = 60X (9MB/sec)

*Spec. Speeds = Manufacturer Specification Speeds - HD Tach Speeds = HD Tach Speed Results

DS Game Performance:

For DS game performance I tested some of the most graphically intensive and most popular games on the DS. Animal Crossing: Wild World, Tony Hawk: American Sk8land, and Metroid Prime: Hunters were all big releases on the system and almost every DS owner owns at least one of the games.

Animal Crossing: Wild World*:
