Hi,
And 4 GB cards are slightly more cost effective over 4 1 GB cards.

Well, and again, this is just another perspective, I have two things that
I considered when purchasing my 4GIG card. First, it came with a lifetime
warranty, so the cost wasn't an issue if there's a crash. Second, I at
least never have stuff on my BP that I don't have somewhere else, so if a
card does go bad, I won't lose data. Again, just another perspective.
