I use an 8gb card, and so do several other people here. One guy wrote that he's using a 16gb card, with no problems.

Side note-- Get a fast card if you can afford it... it does make a difference.

Sandisk "Extreme III" 8GB. I got this card from Amazon.com for only like 30 bucks, great deal. Literally 3 times as fast load/save as my old card (Sandisk Ultra II 2GB).

It's probably worth trying the Extreme IV card if you have the money.

Copper-- Sorry to hear that...!! never had that problem personally. I do have the exact same card. I'm using 2XL, and have also used the card in OS1 and OS2.

Did you buy this CF off FleEbay? I heard many of the brand new media cards on there are knockoffs, and may not work as well. Just FYI. Also i'm from BK, what neighborhood in Queens are you?

You serious?... that whole project is kind of pointless to me. The point of keeping everything on a CF card it's REMOVABLE! You don't wanna be backing up your files through that USB 1.0 connection. If I were you I would get a card reader... assuming you don't have one already. Then format CF on the computer...

The card you got is probably legit... did it come with the packaging and that goofy little case?
