Hrm I also pondered why FAT 16 vs FAT 32 would be making such a difference yet it seems that poor chips for all the 2GB vs 1GB sd and 4GB vs 2GB cfs seems really odd coincidence no? I thought it was less the file allocation table and more how well the PDA hardware or Os worked with it maybe. Hrm theorectically the below listed card by EngrPaul would perform equally poorly in FAT 16?

Brand: A-Data SD
Model: Turbo 150X
Size: 2 GB
File Allocation Table: FAT-32

I appreciate the feedback 0gopogo on my buying needs. I am on the road in cases where power consumption is an issue but I have 4 standard batteries so isn't so bad I suppose but I as well decided the CF and SD fit my needs more than the Microdrives as I do watch quite a bit of video on the PDA screen on batteries and would leave me needing several large storage spaces. I run program, store, apps, mp3s and use thespace of the cards for encylopedias etc. Really they make the machine if you ask me. I figure all things being even, sych as sometimes there isn't a great difference in price I am often moving large video files to the cards a faster write speed couldn't hurt. I may go 4GB CF + 4GB SD instead of 4GF CF + 2GB SD. As you said I doubt most of these speeds will be noticeable on the device itself. I replied on the other thread 0gopogo.

Update: Check out http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921 seems my theory on the PPC not playing nicely with FAT32 may be right.
