CF Cards. . .

So I was reading back a few pages.. and was on a thread about CF cards... not sure I really came to any kind of concrete conclusion unfortunately.

I currently have a 128MB CF card (JamMedia)... and the 32MB CF card that came with my new Black MPC1000.

I realize they have up to 2GB and I think even 4GB cards are available... my question is...

Is there a limit to the size of the CF cards that we can use with the MPC1000?
Should I bother getting a 2GB, which obviously would be preferable.. or is 256MB the limited size that the MPC1000 will recognize?

many thanks

personally, i would stick with the cards that you have and go get a hard drive. I have a 100gb hard drive inside my 1k.

sounds hot...

so i wanna make sure to get the right stuff.

what brand HD should I get.. and is 100GB the limit (sizeways)?
and can i do this myself.. or do i need to do sautering and stuff?

also... since it'll take a minute b4 i can manifest an internal HD for this baby... i still kinda need the CF card questions answered.. so i don't waste my time or money.

at the top,check in Sparq's links you should find what you need there. I use a Toshiba 40gig

I'm scared to do the hard drive thing.

heard too many people losing stuff.

i guess i should just get educated on it and i could avoid that though.

why are you still using an os that loses your saved data?

i haven't had any data lost. i just remember hearing about harddrive problems a while back.

its true, i haven't done enough research and it may be fixed now, but i am poor anyways.

i'll get one someday

i had my hard drive in my mpc before the official 2.1 OS came out and i never lost any data on my hard drive.
