USB stick question

hjb123

Am looking at getting an extra USB storage stick and have seen some in Asda, though it doesnt mention Vista on them which is what the computers are that I would be using it on - does this matter, ie, do they still work on vista computers (sorry if a daft question:D)

thanks

Vista will 100% support it

I've got some really old sticks... they work perfectly fine with my new vista laptop

not a silly question though! :P "don't know if you don't ask!"

In comparison to ASDA they are, although obviously search the web but avoid ebay due to the fakes.

I brought one of these a few days ago arrived today http://www.amazon.co.uk/Patriot-Boost-Rugged-Waterproof-Resistant/dp/B000VE2RP6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1233586696&sr=8-1
Its very fast and has a lifetime warranty. Its more pricey than most 8gb memory sticks though.

4GB = £9.99
2 X 4GB = £15.99

few with comet. currys. pcworld etc etc roughly the same sort of price.

I found the p&p reasonable as well, although buy from Amazon over a fiver and it will be free

It all depends how big a stick you want I picked up a couple of 2gb ones up last week for about £6 each bu it was for installing xp on a netbook so 2gb was plenty. 8gb+are more expensive i paid £70 or my 8gb corsair survivour GT about 8 month ago but they are espensive to start with
