What kind of a memory card should I get for games?

Hi there, I got a Dell Axim x50v, and I really really need extra space. The games I have take up a lot of space (you know, gfDoom, OpenTTD, the ported ones mostly..) and I really wish I could install them all at once :).

Now as far as I understand there are CompactFlash, SecureDigital, and MicroDrive cards? I think MicroDrive is the cheapest for the space available, so the question is should I get a MicroDrive if I wanted to store mainly games (and probably some media later on)? I was wondering if it was brittle at all if you are using it in a moving vehicle since I've heard harddrives have problems with that.

Thanks!

If you need less than a gig I would get SD - $100 and fast. A lot less chance for damage than the micro.

I'm thinking the more the better as cheap as possible :). I'd like to have all of my games installed and some room left over :). Right now I have less than a gig of games though that will probably go up especially if I put down some mp3s on there. And what's the difference between CF and SD anyways?

I would go for a SD 1Gb Lexar or Kingston card.
