While SanDisk maybe a good brand, I wouldn't go for anything larger than 8Gb. While it is meant to work in theory I believe there to be a comBIOS bug that may prevent at least one well known operating system from booting correctly. The card I have is a: SanDisk SDCFH-016G This does not work on the comBIOS 'c' revision, which I believe to still be the latest. See my previous threads in this mailing-list archive on the exact problem, my guess is that the BIOS computes an invalid geometry, probably due to overflow or zero/negative value in arithmetic. I have it on understanding from others that smaller cards work fine.
