This is Joseph. The current capacity for SD card is about 2 GB (The 8 GB capacity you were talking about might be related to a CF card.). Yes, you can use any card, but it is recommended that you use cards with 512 MB or less capacity for upgrading. The formatting utilty can be used with any cards, whether you are upgradijng or not. (I don't exactly know the underlying technical informaiton behind this utility.) I hope this informaiton may help you.

First, is there any size limitation for cards we can use, other than the 512 MB limit for cards used to do updates? I've read about SD cards of 8 Gig and wondered if these would work. I asked this next question once before several weeks ago and never received a response. Is it necessary or recommended to use the built in SD card formatting option with cards that are only to be used for file storage or is this formatting step only needed for cards used to perform updates with?
