Unless you are shooting lots of video or RAW a 4GB card is complete overkill. You also run the risk of "all your eggs in one basket". While CF cards are extremely robust, cameras do sometimes screw up and corrupt them.
Several 512MB/1GB cards is a better idea, in my opinion.
And to answer Phillip's question, yes the cards will work.

Yeah plus the 512mb is only about £28 which is good for me. I'd never get the 4gb as (a) i'd never fill it (b) I'd get lazy, leave them all on there and then cry when it corrupts.

£43 gets you a 1GB card from Scan. I bought mine from them at xmas and haven't had any problems with it so far.
