USB memory sticks
I went to my local electric shop and there were so many different kinds, different amounts of memory and also other things ? What is the best type to get?
Want one for photos, maybe the odd downloaded TV programme etc.. Resume etc.. |

I think 1GB or 2GB would be enough for what you're looking to store on it. I would get them online instead of a retail store. They're significantly cheaper online.

Go to Tigerdirect.com or newegg.com! You can generally get a 2gb for about $10 and a 4gb for under $20 on Tiger.

Since you are going to be using it for some photos and videos, I would recommend at least a 2GB, but shouldn't really need more than 4GB.

I have a 2GB memory stick, and it works great for file transfers.

I recommend a sandisk Cruzer U3, 2GB-4GB-8GB or 16GB Micro.
I just got 1, there great.. I love the u3 on it. Being able to have email on the go is very handy. So are many of the other progs for it.
