I just ordered a N800 from Buy.com during their Thanksgiving promotion ($190 USD). I also ordered a iGo Stowaway keyboard from Amazon.com ($30 USD). I'm looking forward to reciving it; I've wanted one of these since the 770 was introduced.

Now I need to select some memory.

I've read the Patriot Class 6 16GB module works with the N800 but I think 8GB is probably enough for me. Any reason I should get 16GB rather than 8GB? Video storage, map caching, web caching?

Is Patriot memory a good choice? Does 16GB really work in the N800? Should I consider anything else?

Does 16GB draw more power and substantially drain the battery, or make the N800 slow?
