Doesn't seem like much diff, but a C6 is 3 times as fast as a C2, when you look at it like that it does matter.
Also, make sure you store all Windows side images (wallpapers, contact pics, etc..) anything on homescreen on your device, not the SD, it'll be much faster loading the homescreen images. I copy over my key contacts & wallpaper & run from main mem.
2 more cents: U don't need 8GB, a reformatted old 1 gig will work just fine for testing. The entire OS & some key apps are 1/2 an NRG ROM! expands to about the same maybe a tad more... giving over 750MB of app & cache space! I'm working on 3 different builds (Blazen, Reference, & XDAndroid) so, you'll want to try a few diff ones & reformat in between. Use the format tool I post a few pages back, click my name, statistics tab, view all posts.. GOOD LUCK, PM me if issues, don't want to overtake this ROM for Droid, however... it's OK to have a few posts, as it is still the boot ROM we use. Some Boot ROM's seem to need a few tricks others don't for example... some need to turn on wifi in win ROM 1st & then boot to Droid, XDAndroid is the one I have wifi tethering working on right now.. still haven't doco'd everything, need to flash this new ROM 1st! :>))

Thanks and thanked all for the replys and I will wrap this one up.
1. Will be burnin the new rom tonight.
2. My current card is C3 that why I am getting a new one, and if your buyin you mights well go all out with 8 gigs.
3. Thanks for the pointers on android. I am starting with XDAndroid and go from there.
4. Off topic: OK all you geeks out there (that means anyone flashing a phone), drag that ancient laptop out of the closet, you know the one you gave the kids and is so slow they won't even play with it. Down load Ubuntu (Linux) and you will be amazed. I am using a laptop with 1 gig processor. 512 megs of PC100 ram, and a 20 gig hard drive. I can be booted up, be tethered and online in 1min and 15 sec! Try that with XP or Vista. Plus the setup start to finish is only about an hour, just about every driver you need is built in, and it has a very similar feel to windows. Try it!
