32MB ACE CompactFlash Memory Card

The first time I laid my eyes on the CF card, I thought, "Oh my God, look how small it is!" It's sometimes hard to imagine how up to 256 megabytes of information can be kept in such a small device which hardly weighs anything. Then again, it costs about 4 times more then a regular PC-133 SDRAM DIMM!

Anyway, Adrian had already reviewed the 64MB ACE Compact Flash Memory Card. Okay, I know this review is a little bit... slow in coming but my exams just ended and only now could I find some time to write this review. Ah, although my review will not be as definitive as Adrian's, I'll share my experience of using this CF card and certain problems I encountered with it.

Okay, enough personal ranting. Here comes the review!

    

Manufactured In Singapore

The manufacturer for this particular CompactFlash memory card is none other than EC-Asia International of Singapore. You know, it's kind of nostalgic as I also happen to own two pieces of ACE 16MB EDO RAM SIMMs! What a coincidence that I now own another 32MB of memory from EC-Asia International but in the form of a CF Card!

Well, here are some pictures of the 32MB Compact Flash memory card.
