There is a difference in speed but not that much when only using a printer
or scanner. When transfering bigger files it goes twice as fast (at least) but
the difference is only a matter of seconds.
I did see a difference however with my Canon EOS 300 D digital camera when
changing from a "normal" CF card to a Ultra II. Both in the camera and in the
transferring of the files from the card to the computer via a card-reader
connected to a USB 2.0 port. It's much faster now and is not compareable
with my pocket-camera:s SD card and then the files from the Canon are about
twice as big as from the Minolta DiMage X20.
