Using VM is up to the user--I never have used it, but I've been lucky
enough to have had enough memory for my applications. I suppose had I had
my 520c for example, with only the original 8mg vs the 36 that I ended up
with (36? I think that was the amount), I would have turned VM on.
A synopsis of the Sandisk white paper is on Rich Dreher's CFFA website:
http://dreher.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=15
It shows that the # of writes to the CF while very high, isn't infinite.
(Personally, as I said, I'd only worry about it if I were using it as
VM--each block write is counted. Otherwise as just a startup device,
while using the HD for storage, I think you'll be ok.)
