Need help on choosing an expansion card!!

[vadimio]

I only have 700K remaining on my Palm m130, so it is time to buy an expansion card. I haven chosen to buy a 64 mb card. I want to store e-books, pictures and games. What card would be best for me?

Thanks for replying,
V

My only suggestion is that you stay away from SanDisk cards. They are known to have problems.

Are Viking SD cards any good?
Also, what's better: SD or MM??

I've never used a Viking card so I can't help you with that.

SD is better than MMC. It is faster and newer. See these threads for more information.

My suggestion is the Lexar 64mb. They have always worked great for me and the price is very reasonable.;)

Aren't those for digital cameras only? Their site doesn't even mention compatabiliy with PDA's.:confused:

No. It will work in any Palm that has the Secure Digital expansion slot.

I also recommend that you go with Lexar. I rarely hear problems from people using cards made by them.

Thanks guys. I ordered the 64 mb Lexar SD card for $40 at Amazon yesterday. It was one of the last two in stock.

You're welcome.
