I do NOT recommend the 4gb non-SDHC cards to anyone at this point. With the new SDHC drivers, it does not make sense. SDHC cards are as cheap if not cheaper than the non-SDHC.

I had a Topram 4gb card before the new drivers were brought to play. It was a pain in the butt as the other user mentioned - because every few months the data would get corrupted and unusable. So it was totally unreliable. This happened more often the more you wrote and rewrote to the card. For me, when I was playing and saving video games - I may have had to format the card once a week. If you're only reading FROM the card, (as in music) you're probably ok - but why not have a card that's reliable for reading & writing.

So do yourself a favor and get an SDHC card with the updated drivers. I have a 6gb SDHC card now, and it's awesome. It's nice not to have to regularly check my data for corruption - or "missing space".
