I'm considering upgrading my micro-SD from 4GB to 16GB. I need to know if the "class" speed makes any difference? What is the highest "class" the PE can actually exploit? And what's all this I hear about a larger micro-SD "taking over" the internal memory???

Does this happen? If so, what size card does the problem begin to occur with? I guess I could buy such a large micro-SD that losing 3GB wouldn't matter, but is the access to Internal memory faster than access to a micro-SD card?

If I cannot exceed the performance of internal memory (internal "sdcard"?) with extsdcard, regardless of the class I buy, then I certainly don't want to try, nor do I want to pay to reduce memory speed. But if the PE can read extsdcard FASTER than the internal memory, I'll gladly chuck it and buy 16 or even 32GB.

The problem is that I don't have the information. Does anyone?

Thanks!
