Hello,

Has anyone heard if the 64gb CF has reached the market yet? Iv'e heard, and seen that Microdia had come out with a 64gb CF card called the XTRA ELITE CF with AWSOME specs: 300x speed, thats 45mb/s! I believe that this card is currently being sold in Australia. Anyone know any new news about this card?

Here are some links:

MICRODIA | Flash Memory Cards | CF 300 XTRA ELITE

I seriously can't wait for this card to hit the U.S. market.

By the way, I have a x51v and am using the A-Data 32gb CF without any tinkering of the machine or card, WORKS GREAT! You can get it now at Newegg.com for $73!

Regards,

if you do go for the 64G CF card you want to sell me your 32G????? lol
but seriously i would be interested . . .. . . . . . .

Sorry guys, one of the things I remember acutely, is the fact that Fat 32 file system on the axim won't support cards over 32 Gb, has that changed or is this a misleading advertisement?

no idea Pedah as i dont own an ax...

but i do know that the CF spec allows for an addressable space of 137 Gig in CF1 not sure if CFII is any different. i think these cards are made for digital cameras etc so if they work great but if they dont then ... oh well....
