The Tables and Charts are self-explanatory, you may need to Google/Babelfish Translate for Some of the Makes/Brands of the Cards, though.

I ordered a 16GB Sandisk Extreme III 30MB/ps card a couple of days ago for filming, but I'll be testing continuous shooting with the K-x to see how long shooting lasts with raw files. Now it's not too many frames, but with JPEG I can shoot until the card is full (4GB Sandisk Extreme III).

It is somehow a surprise for extremely fast card can give the K-x an unlimited number of continuous high burst shots, as this has never been specified by Pentax. As for a Class 6 Transcend SDHC card of mine, it only allows me to shoot up to 10 to 11 something at around 4 fps in a chain (as tested and published for the results with sound track in my K-x review), which is something not high performance nor large in number, of course.

Maybe I should try cards of other brands later on, I have another 16GB Sandisk Ultra SDHC and another 8GB Transcend SDHC (Class 4 only, which I bought much earlier) and another Toshiba "High Speed" White Card. If I have the time, I shall see if there would be any big difference.

I know, it was a good surprise for me when I tested the amount of shots I could do with various settings like DNG, DNG+ and then JPEG. I don't need it to be able to fill up the card in one very long series of shots, but it's nice to have the opportunity to do long series if there are things I want to capture like that :)
