Hi Everybody:

This is my first message I post.

Could anybody a help me?

I have a DELL AXIM X51. It is the best PDA I ever had.
I want to buy a Compact Flash card, but I don´t know which is the largest size it can support. 2GB, 4 GB?

I hope it be the 4GB one.

Thanks in dvance for your help.

I think the limit is 32GB if cards ever come out that big.

16GB, 8GB, 4GB and smaller all work fine as far as I know

I have an 8gb CF card that works great

The Cf interface is very similar to an ATA-100 interface and can handle up to at-least 100gb, but I don't think you will find flash memory that small in those capacities.
Windows Mobile must have some software limit being a proprietary software as well as the hardware limitations of the device itself (similar to the way some laptops just could not work with hard drives larger than 120gb for awhile, not because of size constraints but because they weren't compatible. So the 32gb limit sounds realistic and reasonable.

I have a 16gb card and it's fine. I also think the 32gb cards when they come out later this year or early next year. Even my original ce3.0 pda works fine with my 16gb card.

Anyone here know about the CF size limitations for an x50v?

Hey, jharsh, where did you get a 16gb CF..... and more to the point, what did it cost? My 8 gb CF is starting to get too small for my liking. Cheers
