AFAIK, the adapters all cause a reduction in speed, add that to the fact that the D can't use the speed of the faster 133X cards, and you've got a recipe for some slowness. I don't believe the D can even take advantage of an 80X card - I've heard it can max out at about 40X or 50X, but someone more knowledgeable than I can give you more precise, and possibly more accurate numbers.
