I have 1gb compact flash cards with O.S. 1.20

I believe some have said they can get 1gb to work with O.S. 1.14 if i'm not mistaken.

my main thing is I don't want to run into an issue of not having enough space I mean I'm getting better and making beats daily I just brought a 1 gig but I'm saying if that's not gonna hold a lot I'd rather make a bigger investment now

1000mb is alot of space. Think about it. 2k/2kxl is only gonna hold 32mb at a time anyway. If you format the card fat/fat16 in xp you are able to read/write in windows and mpc. You can store your stuff on pc as well..

i do a lot of loop samplin and a 100mb zip disk held a whole lot of songs.

i haven't even come close to fillin up my 256 mb flash card.

flash cards are cheap now so no need to worry about space unless you samplin entire albums or somethin.

durin xmas i bought 4 - 1 gb flash cards for $25 each.

I've got 2 1GB CF cards only because I found them for like $20 a piece. I've got like 20-30 songs on one card and I only used up like 100mb. A 1gb card is going to last you quite a while. Even a 512 is plenty of room.
