Hisham, I'm malaysian too. Thank you very much for your information.

That's means no point of buying a high speed card?? Alamakk, waste money... What's IIANM? The pda card reader module?

Rule of thumb - if it's on the today screen, or runs at startup, install into RAM or File Store
I like this idea. THANK YOU THANK YOU.

it's a lot faster and much, much easier to uninstall and reinstall.
Got it..

By the way, I tested my card with Antonv Pocket Mechanic. It turns out to be only "Read: 0.66MB/s (4.5X) and Write: 0.03MB/s (0.2X)". I'm getting a similar speed results for my old 256MB Kingston. Why is that so little?? However I noted a big difference in speed between the 2 cards when I transfer a folder containing about 1MB of files from RAM to storage card, manually. Have you tried out Pocket Mechanic? Is that reliable?

I then formatted the 1 Gig card to FAT16 + cluster size 32K (as recommended by Antonv for best performance) and tested the card again, it improves a little to Read 4.9X/ Write 0.4X, but the speeds actually decreased a bit when tested it on my computer with HD-Tach (tested average speed 7.2MB/s)

Is that necessary to use FAT16 system file?

I can't access the SD Card with my laptop. It needs to be reformated. Other than formatting it back to FAT32, how can I have my laptop to be able to reand and write on my SD Card?

Thank you veyr much.
