Yes, see: http://www.robgalbraith.com/media/compactflash/canon_eos1ds.html The buffer is only increased because frames have already been written. So, the effect is not dramatic regarding number of frames in a burst. However, the time to empty the buffer is greatly affected. In fact, Canon's pro digitals are specifically designed to take advantage fully of fast cards.
