And what would a "real" cap be? Certainly not size (at least not until you get to the subatomic level), because memory keeps getting smaller every year, it seems.
Just curious....

The technical cap for SDHC is 2048GB (yes, 2TB!). The SD group however, placed an artificial limit of 32GB on it. I have no idea why they did that.
