I too have a cheapo 1 gig card. I also have some problems that may or may not be related to it.

When I go control panel > memory, the memory window opens blank ond often will not close. Also, whenever I open a help topic, a blank help window opens which I cannot close. These events occur whether I have the 1 gig card inserted or not. I have also had some problems with lockups when downloading; usually to the 1 gig card.

Any ideas or suggestions?

thanks in advance...
