Hello I have a Dell Axim X51v and want to get a compact flash and secure digital memory card. I was thinking a 6 gb compact flash and a 4 gb secure digital. Will these work? If not what is the largest memory I can go with?

Thanks

The sky is the limit.... You could use 2 x 8 GB cards if you can afford and find them. I think that is about the limit...... Not this this is the max limit on your PDA, just that bigger cards are not available.

I called Dell today and the guy I spoke to told me that the max that it will support is a 1 GB. He said some people that tried the 2GB ones are having problems. Is anybody out there using a 2GB or higher and are you having any problems with it?

With all due respect to Dell, they have no idea !!

I'm personally using an x51V and x50v, both with a 2GB SD AND 2gb CF cards at the same time.

I stand by my first answer and I am sure others will also agree.

I totally agree with you it's not the first time I've gotten wrong advice from Dell. I called them not knowing I got a response here, I forgot to subscribe to my post.

Thanks

I have a question....why did Dell send me a CF type one card when I just ordered my Axim and it's set up for a Type II card...now there is a nice dust gathering gap....GRRRRR.....need to fill the void....and looking for comsmetically pleasing suggestions...no glue involved..my luck I glue the stupid card in and NEVER get it out...Thinking of calling Dell to exchange it for a TypeII card insted.
