Games can be large. I don't play many of them, but those that I do are always installed to the SD card.

Dragon20,

The Nand memory, to put in simple terms, is a place for you to put all the important information and/or files that you do not want to get deleted when your device may have a hard reset.

Regarding the games, I like to place them all on my 256mb SD Card so that I can leave the actual 64mbs on my iPaq for memory when running more complex programs.

I was under the impression that a processor-intensive, heavy graphics using game would be best installed in the on-board ram... <lots of hand waving here...> since a) access may be noticeably slower and/or b) it would entail less wear-and-tear.


Am I completely wrong?

It is stored on the storage card. When you runi it, it is moved to RAM for processing, just like apps on your PC's hard drive are copied to RAM.

Thanks for clearing that up, Ed. :D I see "a spade is a spade" i.e. storage is storage.
