FAT16: Max total volume size: 2GB Number of files: 65,517 Larger allocation unit size (more "waste" for files that don't take up full allocation units). FAT32: Max volume size: 8TB Number of files: 268,435,437 Smaller allocation unit size That's it, really. Unless these memory sticks are very large (or you have an outrageous number of files on them) either file system will work just fine (as both computers are equally capable of dealing with them). I'd pick FAT32 if given the choice, and I think the Mac paranoia is probably just because Apple hasn't dealt with the FAT system for quite as long as PC OS' have (and so might have options for FAT32 formatting that are unavailable to the Mac). TheSmokingGnu Great data. Thanks. -- Dudley Henriques |

Shirl: Low-Wing/Mac (since 1984) No, Mac = low-wing, PC = high-wing, just as MS has dominant share of the market for PCs, Cessna owns the light airplane market with high-wing aircraft. :-) Matt |
