New to Axim...can you insert both a sd and cf card at the same time and what do most people do about this and size of cards that they use?

DaLabrador

Yes. They do it. As large as possible.

I use both - 2 GB SD card and a 4GB CF card. I use the SD for storing files and installing apps to, and I use the CF for MP3s and media.

jpp

Do both these cards need to be formated before use,,,is a format done with the Axim and what is the procedure?

Why do you choose that configuration is the CF quicker than the SD? or it just because it is bigger?

Thanks

I have a 512MB CF card I use for music, and I have a 1 G SD Card my programs and TV show episodes are stored on. I have never had to format a card.

You should Format each card before use, some people experience errors when they use their cards without formating.
To Format your card, insert your card in a card reader connected to your computer, then right click on your card, and choose Format on the drop down menu.
I use both a 4gb CF card to store movies, and a 1gb SD card for all my Apps, and Games

Thanks, that is what I needed to know

BTW my very first thread here was exactly the same question as yours

Yes I use both CF and SD @ the same time.

I use my 2.0 gb CF for programs, muliti file data storage.

My SD's are used for specifics; Maps, music, pictures, and other temporary files.

I like to divide my maps into catagories on individual cards for connecting states for specific interstate routes; East coast=512mb sd, New england= 512mb, NY to California= 1gb, and so on.

Emailing pics from a SD switched from my digital camera to my PDA comes in handy when needing to get surveys back to the office in a hurry.

Depending on what work I'm engaged in at the time, I'll usually have both SD & CF working simultaneously.

Any idea what the Axims interfaces are up to ?
I do ask because I got a slow x100 sd card (had this before the x51v).
Now I wonder what to go for.

Q1: Since the SD slot is occupied, any reasons to not go for a cf card ?

Q2: As I see I could invest into anything starting from x80 up to x166 speeds.
terms such as 'supports IDE PIO 6 and MW-DMA 4 Mode' is nice to know if given by the cards manufacturer, but from the computers I got I'm well aware that
a) the fastest standard is always set but by the component which is slower
b) transferrates are mostly theoretical and more lab- but real-life-values.

Thus, is it worth investing into Transcend Ultra Performance or even a Sandisk Extreme III, not to mention a Sandisk IV ?

Thanks in advance for some hints.

In addition to this, does one type of card use more energy than the other? That is, will my battery last longer if I use one type over another?
