For me it's a 1 GB CF SanDisk Ultra II at the moment. A 256 MB CF card
of the same maker felt even a little snappier in terms of system responsiveness,
yet the writing performance of the Ultra II is definitely better and it gives you
more room of course (I use both with four partitions, one 4 MB, three max).
Don't go for microdrives. They are too slow and consume too much power.

Best,

Marcus
