Dell axim and compact flash

Have a look at Site Link but I have a 4gig SanDisk Ultra CF card working ok. 8gig CF card shouldn't be bad.

Hi Nick

I have a 4 gig sd in my pda as gps and a 4 gig cf in my laptop - both for map storage -they work just fine.

A word of warning - a lot of memory cards on ebay while cheap are not genuine - see martybugs.net/articles/fakesandisk.cgi - they work ok though.

Nick,

Dunno about the Dell, but I have an iPaq 2210 connected to GPS and have both SD and CF cards and I find that it doesn't work too well when navigating AND playing music.....the music tends to get chopped up. Perhaps the old thing doesn't have enough RAM to run it all properly.

Re the eBay cards.....DONT DO IT. I got scammed with a 2GB CF Card for my camera....it was a fake and doesn't perform anywhere near as fast as it should. I know this because I have a high end Nikon camera which really tests the limits of the cards, particularly when downloading them to computer.

The best place I have found to buy REAL Sandisck cards if from a mail order company:

No affiliations etc,just got a good product at fair price with quick turnaround.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hi Nick,

I am using the Dell x51v, and I am running a 2GB SD card & a 4GB CF card.

I have all maps etc on the CF card.

Hope this helps

I've also got a Dell Axim X50V and running a 1gb SD and 4gb CF. I'm also thinking of going up so will be interested to hear if anyone has run larger CF cards. I've got the MP3's on the SD and maps on the CF. I wont buy these off Ebay as there are too many fakes even with sellers with high positive feedback. My son got burnt with one. They read the correct capacity but won't store it.

Thanks folks,
the 2gb sandisk I got on ebay seems to be good, I might look for an 8 soon.
I forgot JohnR already had a 4, have to get a bigger one than him!!!
