Default Compact Flash Question: What is x?

Some compact flash cards advertise a read/write speed of n Mb.sec,
where is a number such as
30. I believe I understand what that means.

Others advertise as nx, where n is a number such as 133, 150, 266.
I do not understand what
that means.

Could someone please explain?


The "x" is 150 kilobytes/second (it is the same as the one on CD-ROM
drives), so, for instance, 133x is roughly 20megabytes/second. See
