Hey, that's a great question!  I recently purchased a second memory 
card for my Nikon D70, the original was a 1Gb card, the new one is 
2Gb, and a much faster card, yet it feels slower.  Maybe it isn't 
just my imagination...

Does anyone know how memory card size effects write speeds?  Actually 
I'll ask in camera mailing list I'm on.
