Just recieved my sandisk ultra II 1g micro from buy.com, I don't think I have seen one before :shock: man they are tiny!

My question is for the sclite which fat format is better fat32 or fat16?

Use FAT16 not FAT32.

what if i get a 2GB card should i stil put the same?

Yes, FAT16 only. (at least for now)

ok because i read somewhere that windows auto makes 2GB cards FAT32 and someone said to leave on default so i was sorta confused.

I also have an Ultra-II micro-SD, does anyone what would be my FAT atm as default because i have not messed with FAT yet.

Also how do i check to see if my micro-SD is FAT16 or 32?

Thankx

-Edit

Is there in particular an advantage between the FATs because i do not know which FAT my micro-SD is formatted at but it seems to be working all fine.

If it is working fine then it is FAT16. SC does not (for now) support FAT32. You can check cards by going to "My Computer", and then right clicking on the drive and left clicking on "Properties". You will see what it is right on that screen by "File System".
