It does, but general rule of thumb says that unless the speed benefits are
realized solely in hardware you will still be sidelined by the pipe. What
I'm saying is that, without know the exact specs on the CF interface of the
880, I'd warrant a guess that it will provide a bottleneck and that higher
speed CF cards will not necessarily benefit. Take a look at this article to
get an idea of the technologies involved:

In short, depending on how fast the MP880's CF bus is, which likely isn't
blazing, you'd be paying for nothing to get a faster card.

Enjoy! Once you get it installed, please fill us in on X usage at 800x600 on
the NEC. My 770 only handles 640x240, so my display is always cut off and
unusable.
