Default Ultra II vs Lexar 40x in a Nikon D70

Choosing among 1 gig CF cards for a Nikon D70, is the Lexar 40x faster or
slower than the Sandisk Ultra II? Speed aside, are these two considered
equivalent in quality?

BTW, if I understand correctly, Lexar's Write Acceleration cards won't do
anything special in a D70. Is that right?

I've noticed ZERO difference between by Lexar 80x 1GB card and my Sandisk
Ultra II 512MB card in terms of write speed in my D100...


That's because the D100 is way slower than 66x anyway... Only the latest
digital camera's can actually use card-speeds like that. (D70, D2h, Oly
E1, latest Canons too I suppose)

That's NOT what Nikon tech support told me. They specifically told me that
the D100 can take advantage of WA technology just like the D2H...


They lied. Look at this:

The D100 writes at about 2MB/sec with a 80x card, which isn't even near
the maximum write speed.
