A question for D3 owners

Since I'm picking up my D3's next week, I'd like to pose a quick question to folk who currently own them.

When I'm shooting the UFC events, I prefer to shoot RAW + JPG; I can wire the JPG shot rapidly if there's been a piece of action that warrants rapid transmission and, later, I can transmit a RAW conversion that's been tweaked to look as good as possible for print.

So what I need to know is this: how deep is the buffer of the D3 when shooting with the following settings

1. Card slot 1: Compressed Lossless RAW, 12-bit
2. Card slot 2: JPG Normal, optimal quality, slot 2
3. UP to ISO 6400 with High ISO NR set to OFF

For what it's worth, I currently am using Sandisk Extreme III cards, though I might move up to IV's or Ducati since I'm well aware they give the buffer a bit of 'oomph'

Thanks in advance for your help
