  Step 1:  What is Computer Memory?

Memory cards are small memory chips on a card that can hold files in electronic format for playback in any device that is able to read the card.
  Step 2:  How Much Does It Cost?

Flash memory is by far the most expensive format per megabyte. A 64 megabyte flash memory card costs 129 dollars translating to 2 dollars per megabyte.
  Step 3:  What are the Advantages?

Flash memory is small (about the size of a quarter), lightweight, and can hold upwards of 128 Megabytes of data. This makes it ideal for the portable environment.
  Step 4:  Are There Memory Standards?

There are two types of memory that have captured the biggest chunk of the market. Smart Media is thinner and smaller while Compact Flash is newer, has higher capacity, but is a bit bigger. In depth analysis on the advantages of both of these is done a bit later in the Topic.
