Advantages / Disadvantages of SDIO Wifi Cards?

Storino03 · 10-23-05, 08:26 PM

I might get an SDIO Wifi card, purely because I want the CF slot on my X50 (low) for memory purposes...Is this a good move, or should I go for a CF Wifi Card and use my SD slot as memory (which I am doing now) ?

I'd leave the SD slot for memory. The price difference between CF and SD cards is narrowing, but there is still a huge difference in price between CF and SD accessories, with CF accessories being cheaper. CF accessories are also more readily available.

Advantages: they are smaller
Disadvantages: they cost more and there are only a couple of brands to chose from.

Personally I would (and did with my previous PPCs) go with the CF WiFi and use the sd slot for memory.

i guess they would eat up more of ur battery? I'm not quite sure, but i'm just making an educated guess...
