Or you can get a 4gig card for $4 more... hell the 2gig cards are the same price as the one you posted.

okay, so i get that 4gb card, with the adapter...and i'm looking at $20 total for the hard drive space.
what about my performance question? any downside to using CF? im not expecting lightning fast bootups, but i dont want it taking forever either.

I don't know but I'm sure that info is out there. If some people are using them for MAME cabs I can't see them being a problem for an NES emulator.

By your use of the words "an NES emulator", that leads me to believe you're in the group of people who call it N-E-S (en ee ess).
I've always called it the "Ness", and I'm not alone, but it seems from discussions elsewhere that I'm in the minority.
"Ness" just seems easier to me...

Or... proper written English generally dictates that "an" is used before acronyms that start with a soft consonant or a vowel.
Ginsu Victim:
Right, which is how I came to that conclusion

So, since it is an acronym, that has no real bearing on how I would actually say it. ;D
Though you are right I would say N-E-S. I work in corporate software where people have whole conversations mostly in acronyms. :banghead:
