STORAGE VERSA PERFORMANCE HP JORNADA 820

Another newbie question(if anyone noticed I'm getting ready to Graduate up a notch) I just orded a 1 GB Cf card (at 40 bucks why not) what's the best way to get the best performance out of the HP 820. Can I copy and paste all the programs off the HP internal memory to yhe Cf card and run them from there?? Is at simple as that. I know. I can cut and paste files is that the proper way.How much better if at all, would the pictures and web pages look comming from the CF card also would the video look less grainy. i think what I'm driving at can you run internet explorer from the CF card. After my battle with windows ME I'm running out of my own RAM

For any one who has installed an the second internal 16 MB of RAM do you think it was worth the cost and what program did you see benifit the most??

Thanks in advance

not all of the programs will work if you just copypaste them to the CF: you should reinstall those what won't. maybe a hard reset is the easiest solution.
IE won't run from CF but don't worry, it runs from ROM, it isn't installed into ram.
benefits of the extra ram: you can run more programs at the same time, and if a program needs so much memory that 16 MB isn't enough, it will be ok then, that's a benefit also. and you don't have to worry about the amount of free ram. nothing else really but it's so much more comfortable, you'll see.

oh, one more thing: there are some programs that need to be installed in RAM (they won't run from CF). so that's an advantage too.

This is the last time I'm going to ask.

Please stop naming your threads in Caps, in forum etiquete it is deemed as inappropreate.

Hi there Gulfwindx! Congrats on the purchase of your CF card - $40 is pretty cheap, where did you get it, if I may ask?

Yeah, as pointed out by CMONEX, cut & paste might work with some simple programs but not with others. Any programs installed that caused a change to the registry won't work once you move them over to the CF card because the system will not be aware of the new location and will still be looking for those files in your Windows directory. But I don't think you need to hard reset your HPC - all you have to do is UNINSTALL, and Re-install to the CF card. Note that not all applications can be installed to CF card. Most can, but some can't. In any case, there is really no harm done in trying. If it doesn't work, all you have to do is reinstall to main memory, and you're off to the races. Hope this helps!
