Does the Medion 95900 use SD and MMC memory cards, cos I got a SD card but when I try and use it, it says not reconised and I can not run anything from it...still its' handy for the wifes digi camera m, my lose her gain hi.

If it only uses MMC cards where is the best place to obtain one please, I want to make sure I get the right one.

Thanks. :P

I don't know for certain about MMC cards and CoPilot, but it SHOULD work with SD cards.

If it isn't working with the SD card, sounds like a problem with the card or the reader.

Thanks for the reply Neil01...well I installed the software from the cd via Active sync and also via exployer to the Sd card and both ways it had the same result, can not reconise the SD card, doing a soft restart but then nothing happens after that.

I also copied everything from my original card and installed that but just the same result yet the card works fine in my camera.

When I check on the card I can see everything which should be on there but it just wont run should I get a different card??

The card I have is a Kingston SD card 512 mb

Cheers

Thanks for the reply's to the SD card problem..glad it's not just me having trouble with the Kingston SD card.

I see on my card the voltage is set for 3.3 volts weather the other cards a different I don't know.

So now the question of what to buy...I have seen Sandisk, Lexar and Transcend all available.....BUT WHICH ONE WILL WORK !!! I don't want to keep buying them and them ending up in the wifes camera hi...maybe I should go for a MMC card instead??? if anyone has bought a new card and got it working ok then please reply...

Cheers 8)

In answer to your question about if I think the 40x SD card being faster makes the unit faster, I personally feel there is an improvement in repsonse times over the medion supplied one but not much to make a tremendous difference.

I know there are faster SD cards out there (133x!!) so maybe like most memory which is normally the major bottleneck in any computer system, as the SD memory cards improve so will the units response until it eventually nearly the speed of the CPU and reduces the bottleneck but when that will happen I dont know.

As for my 40x card I just bought it as it was a good price. Smile
