Default 4GB microSDhc or 8GB microSDhc?

I'm planning to get a microSDhc card for my Jade (HTC Touch 3g).

Can you guys please advice will there is any difference in performance, response time and speed between 4GB microSDhc and 8GB microSDhc.

For the timebeing, I'm using mere 1GB micro SD card and its works great.

I know that both works with Jade, but how about the response time? I'm surely looking for bigger space, but not at the cost of speed and response time.

Thanks!!

I've been using 8GB since the beginning. When I compare the performance of my jade with a friend's who is using the "gift" micro SD card, which I presume is 1GB, I don't see a difference in speed or response time. With 8GB, you can afford to be lazy and not clean up the storage card for a while!

I'm planning to have my most of the programs/appilcations on the storage card, so was wondering about the response time.
On HTC site, they said they have tested 8GB, but didn't mention about the performance.

But, the salesman at the store said 8GB will make ur device slow, which I didn't want for more space. He was advicing for 4GB.

Have you installed programs/applications on the Storage card?
And is the reponse of those program on SD are marginally slower as compare to similiar application on device memory?

Even I'm looking to bigger space, it helps a lazy person like me to clean the storage after long long time, but at the cost of response time and stability.

All of my third party software are installed on the storage card. When I open most of them, the time taken is about the same as the default programs, give or take a second for the others. You shouldn't listen to sales people. I was told there were problems with 4GB SD.

I use a 6GB card, nothign wrong Wish mine was 8, but I can't justify buying a new one for an extra 2GB.
I'm not sure if it supports 16gb but I may buy one of those if it's available and if its compatible, which I have no idea lol

I'm using a cheapest 16 GB and don't see any deference at all comparing to 1GB card.
Correct me if i wrong, but i think you won't be able to notice the performance decrease unless you using a high-res/fast Digital camera?
