There are various formats for memory cards. SD memory cards can have capacities up to 2 GB. I use them in my computers, portable digital assistants, cameras, and telephones.

I knew the day would come when I would need to seriously consider “the next format”…that day always comes. I have a tablet PC that would not read 1 GB SD cards…until I updated the BIOS. When necessary, I had been using USB card readers to access memory cards (that my computers would not).
At ShowStoppers (at CES), Kingston gave to me an 8 GB SDHC card. I have found that my readers don’t work with SDHC cards. Time to go shopping…
The SD High-Capacity (SDHC) cards go up to 32GB, and:
