However, in search of a good, fast CF reader, I've only been able to find a bunch of those 4879384-in-1 readers. Are those OK/fast enough, or do you have to search harder for the faster ones? They don't mention speed anywhere, so it's hard for me to say just how fast they might be. If they're good enough, then I can't go wrong with something that reads multiple formats at a cheap price.

If you go for a multi-format reader at this time though, make sure it supports SDHC. If you just want something chap and easy head over to Staples or Office Depot and pick up a SanDisk reader. Jon

You'd expressed an interest in getting a multi-format reader. If you do, make sure it does SDHC as well as SD. If all you want is a CF reader then you're not looking for a multi-format reader and SDHC isn't important. Jon

Hopefully you have one of the newer computers that have USB 2.0. This will work on the older USB, 1.1, but will be much slower.
