Yeah, you're probably not going to be able to use that without a firmware update. Check with Olympus' website to see if one is available. Otherwise, you may be hitting a 1GB, or even a 512MB ceiling. This may be freed up with a firmware update, but I kinda doubt it considering it's age. But you know, using more than one card isn't a bad thing. Reason being, insurance. Any memory card can fail or become corrupted. And when you're on vacation the last thing you want is to lose the opportunity to take pictures until you can recover that media card with a software utility. If your card goes bad, swapping another one for it at that moment is of advantage so you can keep taking pics. Then, later when you're in front of your PC, you can use a utility like "F-Recovery" to get back your pictures and recover your card.

No need to lose the moment because you relied on one card one when several can solve that problem.
