Does the "Integrated 16-in-1 Media Card Reader" in the Studio
Desktop read SDHC cards? (i.e. secure digital high capacity cards)
Can't seem to find that detail anywhere on the Dell site.


It's a good question. As best as I've been able to determine even
the 19-1 doesn't specifically mention support for SDHC cards.......

It is more a driver question.
Since SDHC has been on the market for more than 1 year, you can
expect that proper drivers are available.

Well I am not that sure. As I have two Gateway MX6124 laptops (2005 era)
with a SD card reader port (4 in 1 I believe they call it). But guess
what? It will only read up to a 1GB SD card. If I stick in a 2GB card,
Windows will give it a drive letter, but Explorer thinks the drive is
unformatted. Anything larger (I have up to 16GB SDHC cards) and
absolutely nothing happens. So I think it has more to do with hardware
then drivers.

My 5 EeePC has no problems with even 16GB SD(HC) cards with the same OS
as the Gateway laptops. You can buy USB to SDHC card readers on eBay for
get this, just a penny and this includes S&H. So this is another option.
