Ooh! The CF boot card trick!
I've built two digital picture frames (one out of a 5300, the 0ther out of a Wallstreet), and both use 1 GB CF cards as boot disks. It's very neat and very quiet.
There's just something about not having any moving parts that is so darn cool. Don't expect a huge speed boost from that, though. I've found that my 5300 performs decently when booting from a CF card, but oddly the system slows down when accessing files on the card. I notice better perfomance when using the CF card for VM.
Peace,
Drew
