The price varies depending on the quality. 512MB should be within the range of $180 - $200 for standard 'high-speed' cards. I just bought my Kingston CF card for $200. If you get ultra-speed ones like Lexar Pro, it'll cost about $270.

As for 1GB, they're about 2x the cost of 512MB, starting from $400. TwinMOS is having promotion for this month, their 1GB CF card is selling for $420.

Hope this helps.

I always believe there is something called search engine, and with this I have the following to answer your question. I am not sure you are a frequent user of the internet or not, if you are not then you should start the habbit of using www.google.com

http://www.google.com.sg/search?q=sa...-1&hl=en&meta=

Go to the second top level link, which is:

http://www.sandisk.com/retail_ultra2.html


You will get your answer. Like I say, if you are not a frequent user of the internet, this will surely help you in the future. But if you are one, I am sad to say that you are insulting the power of internet to a level of stupidity, coz you do not know how to use the internet at all, wasting your time online daydreaming that some angels from heaven are with you always.

God.... Chill out DOH!ITGUY. Isn't a forum meant for posting questions to get a wide range of answers from consumers? I dun think interent searches will get u what price someone is selling CF cards at after u bargain with him.

Sorry for OT, but i just cant stand the tone of Mr Internet God.

Oh yeah, i got a Kingston 512mb (cant rem wat speed, 30x i think) at $195 from AP last Dec, but that was b4 rise of GST, so....maybe u'll add a couple of dollars to that.

I went to Memory World last week. Transcend 1GB CF 45x was going for $540 if I remembered correctly.

At another shop Sandisk Ultra 2 1GB CF also going for around that price.

kns, this fella if not interested in replying & sharing then quit your harping, as for your whatever google, I doubt that that search can really fullfill his wish of knowing the local actual pricing, and since this is a community based forum, if you can't share anything, then don't try to act smart, and I believe many of us here are trying to learn and share among ourselve be it in hardware issue or even minor, cos' otherwise, there would not be such a title header for the subject. Mind you, nobody's was born smart.

Damn piss with such attitude, self fish arrogant snob, thinking that this world belongs to you.

Personnally I think specifications of a certain product can be found on the Internet, unless the company did not put it discreetly, like the Hagiwara ones. I have shared Hagiwara's CF specs in a thread while criticizing also for not finding Twinmos one. Please, I am not talking at all about the price, why bring it up all of a sudden? MAY I ASK WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PUT INTO MY MOUTH? I am a very straight forward person if you do not mind, but I never talk about price.
