Help! Questions about compact flash

[Ryguyinlj]

Whenever I transfer images from my camera It always transferrs extremely slowly, and I am wondering if it is my card or my connection. I am not using a card reader, just the direct connection from my digital rebel to my computer. Here is my card
Would my transfer speed get any better if I used a card adapter?


Also, I am curious if this is a good card: CF card Do you know of the writing speed? There are many 1 gig cards by this brand out there, I am just wondering if its a decent card/brand.

Also, would the speed of my card effect the number of continuous shots or shots taken relatively quickly, or help the camera re-buffer any faster?

Thanks for your help.
