The best and fastest reviewing program I have found is Photo Mechanic, 
http://www.camerabits.com/  .  I copy the images on my compact flash 
cards (shot in Canon RAW formats) to a folder on my hard drive and then 
open the folder in Photo Mechanic for a quick review and edit before 
going on to Photoshop.  Did I say it was fast?  It is really fast.  And 
I believe it supports DNG files.  You can download a trial version to be 
sure.
