TAIPEI, TAIWAN (Aug. 22, 2005) ---As the storage capacity requirements grow rapidly for digital cameras, MP3 players, PMP and multi-media players, the FAT32 memory format is necessary to support compact storage capacities that are over 2GB. However, the majority of personal electronic devices that were purchased more than 6 months ago, support only the FAT16 format and if a 4GB memory card is inserted, there will be several consequences. The first and the most likely occurrence will be an error message or failure in detecting the memory card. The second possibility is that your expensive 4GB memory card will only be capable of 2GB of storage when used in your electronic device.

Currently many of the manufacturers of media players began to support the FAT32 format. The majority of PDA’s and cellular phones with memory card expansions, now support the FAT32 memory format. Silicon Power Product Manager, Neo Ho, reminds consumers that when you are buying new digital cameras, MP3 players, multi-media players etc, it would be better to inquire with the retailer whether or not the device supports FAT32, to avoid potential incompatibility issues if you are planning to buy a 4GB memory card for your device.
