Performance of Lexar 2GB 80X Platinum II compact flash card

I am quite impressed as I received the card from Frys today.
The linear read speed is marginally better (500KB/s higher than 1GB Sandisk Ultra II) but the random read speed is almost triple the speed of Sandisk Ultra II card. Whiel the theoratical speed bump is good to brag about, it has marginal or no increase in real life shooting situation with my 20D, most likely becasue 20D is not as fast as the card can offer. In any case, for nine bucks, I consider it a good deal.
