I have used so far two 1Gb card and they worked just find.
For my every day setup I use a 1 Gb card in the bottom CF (Lexar 1Gb 4x) and 
my PCMCIA is empty and I usually use a AmbiCom WiFi CF card (w/ an adapter).

The speed is OK (I didn't benchmark it though) and I get to keep the power 
that a Microdrive would suck :)

Pretty often I also work on a NFS mounted drive too. This is what I do when 
I want to build stuff (I also enable a NFS mounted swap too as 32 Mb is not 
enough sometimes).
