CF = Compactflash
Compactflash is a specific type of flash memory not a reference for all the flash memory types out there. There are types of flash memory that are very fast, very high capacity and very expensive.

Durango thread-hijacker, thanks for commenting and arguing on something that:
a) you have never tried
b) you MAY have seen on TV
c) you can't recall the technology involved
and
d) you couldn't afford in the first place

You are a winner.
I'll live fine with my booting Win2k from a CF card in just over a minute(from the time I hit the power button to the time Media Car loads)...
hope you can do the same.

If anyone wants to discuss using a video-out device to run the display instantly, this is the spot.
Start a new thread if you want to discuss anything else.

I would do what Bravellir said and add a RCA based camera to the Truck, you could put it in the bumper or any other blind spot on the truck. (This might prove handy for a couple of things.)

If you look around you can find some pretty cheap color or low light black & white ones, this would be my first suggestion and you should be able to get this all to work for pretty cheap ($60.00 +time installing the camera somewhere)
