While most computers, PC equipment and peripherals are getting smaller, the files we create are getting larger. The supplied memory card in devices such as digital cameras is unlikely to be bigger than 32MB, so investing in a larger card is essential.
Crucial Technology provides high-quality flash memory products that will give you plenty of room to hold your digital photos or music files. Its Compact Flash (CF) memory card is a solid-state disk designed with flash technology.
The cards have no moving parts and are very rugged, providing much greater data protection than conventional magnetic disk drives.
Crucial’s Secure Digital (SD) card has been designed to provide data storage for a wide range of portable digital devices, and it has low battery consumption. It features an erasure prevention switch which gives you the assurance that your data can’t be accidentally deleted - just keep the switch in the locked position.
Crucial is giving away 1GB of flash memory cards to 12 lucky winners, who will have a choice of receiving either a Secure Digital or Compact Flash memory card.
Another two winners will each receive a 2GB PC3200 dual inline memory module (Dimm) memory upgrade, to provide DDR SD-Ram memory for desktop computers. To use DDR memory, your system motherboard must have 184-pin Dimm slots and a DDR-enabled chipset. A DDR SD-Ram Dimm will not fit into a standard SD-Ram Dimm socket.
Five more winners will get a Gizmo Hi-Speed 1GB USB drive, perfect for storing and sharing images, music and other types of files. It has enough space for thousands of digital images or hundreds of your favourite songs. No installation is required – just plug it into a USB socket and the Gizmo appears as a removable disk.
