Mobility Site - View Single Post - Should I add these programs to main memory or an SD card?

I would definately try to put them on a SD card if the medical applications you are installing will support it. I use a lot of medical/pharmacy programs (Epocrates, lexicomp Suite, Micromedix ,etc...)and had a similar question when I started adding them to my X50. Most of the medical Apps have huge databases of information that take up a ton of memory. If you have a large capacity SD card you shouldn't have any problems, but putting these in BIS or Main will kill any memory you have left. You'll find some of these Apps will only work in BIS or main memory (Free Epocrates version for example). I have a 1GB SD card and try to put everything I can on it. I really don't have to worry about swapping cards because I have the extra CF slot on the X50. Anyway...Just be aware that most of these programs are huge and will probably take up a lot of your free memory.
