Default XD and CF memory card combo?

I've got an olympus XD card and want to increase the amount of pictures I can take without having to clean out the XD card (basically just need more amount of total space for each photo session)

The e450 takes both xd and CF cards.

If i were to get a good CF card and just keep the XD in its place and slide in a CF card into its place, would i have full use / reign over all that space? Pretty much just a GB upgrade by adding in that CF card, right

and if that will indeed up my GB number by adding a CF card, what are some good ones out there for Olympus DSLR cameras?

first you have to find out if the camera can access and use both type of cards at the same time .
if so ( should be named in the manual ) you can ussually add a CF card of 4 GB if the camera can handle 8 GB (for example )

Since xD is becoming a dead format, get a few big CF cards and use those. John
