Well I would go with Sandisk but thats just me. And if you want really fast Sandisk card get a Sandisk 1GB Ultra II.

And I would go with the Kingston. Ultra IIs are ridiculously overpriced for no noticeable speed improvements when dealing with things like M3/Supercard.

I have a kingston running on my SCSD and it works well. Got a gigger for only $30 at the local Fry's.

Kingston FTW. Get it and play CV : PoR without a single freeze.

Kingston doesn't manufacture their own stuff, they just buy in bulk from real manufacturers and stick their branding on it. So you might get one that works great and another that doesn't. This is very common in the memory world, but at least Sandisk makes their own stuff.

BTW, sandisk 2 gb high speed cards are out now. http://scdev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8206

Kingston or another cheap manufacturer, including if you want Sandisk's normal range which I use. The faster more expensive cards only make a difference on very expensive cameras.
