Yeah, we mind - stop asking questions.
(Just kidding.

) I wish I had a megabyte of RAM for each time this question has been asked here.
In theory, the device should read CF cards up to 32 GB; however, we're finding that CE devices are only recognizing half of the memory space of some newer 16 GB cards because of a different density formula in these larger cards. You should be fine with an 8 GB card, though.
(That's where the three card slots come in handy on the NB Pro; however, as you've discovered, it won't read SDHC cards properly out of the box.
)

) No CE 4.2 .net or earlier device
(including the NB Pro
) supports CardBus cards. Only PCMCIA Type I and II cards will work in that slot.
(However, an SDHC-capable USB SD card reader will work in the NB Pro - and many earlier USB-enabled CE devices as well.
)

) One thing to know is that the NB Pro has a persistent registry, so when soft resetting it's a good idea to use the built-in software soft reset utility
(\Windows\warmboot.exe
) instead of the reset hole when possible, to ensure that you save and maintain the most current settings.
(I created a link for warmboot.exe in the Start Menu.
)
Enjoy your Netbook Pro - it's a really handy device.
