How much memory are you using on your PPC?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi all,
just wondering how many of you guys are using memory cards and what size is
the most prevailent? eg. 256mb vs 512mb ?
All views very welcome.

I've found the 256M is plenty for me at this point...but, my 4155 has a 64M
extra RAM disk (PocketPCTechs) into which I can place programs. That allows
me to freely swap SD cards from work files to videos or mp3s without
worrying about programs on the card. My 2215 and Axim X5 are dual slot
devices which can keep programs and special data on an SD card leaving the
CF slot for peripherals and special CF cards with video and mp3s. So, it
depends a bit on what device you have, and to what use you are going to put
it.

I'm using a 256MB, mostly to store programs, so I can have the maximum
possible free on the device itself. It's 75% full, with a couple of Sprite
Backup files in it... I was really thinking of getting a 512MB card though,
so I could have some songs available there.

Further to this, how much, if any, memory should one leave free on the iPaq
itself, to allow efficient operation? Or will there always be enough free
memory for programs to run?

I have as few apps as possible installed on my iPaq 2210 (only essential ones
like Pocket Phojo, AOL, Battery Bar, Circond for wi-fi, and Resco Explorer),
and everything else is on one of two 256mb SD cards, for general use, and one
solely for TomTom 3 and maps.
