I wanna buy a 1GB or a 2GB Sony memory stick....But, there are fakes available in the market as well.......now, I read an article somewhere, physically showing the slight differences between the two.....but the best method for differentiating mentioned was checking the total space available on the memory stick....these values would be different in the real and fake versions.....for example, for the 512MB card, the real Sony stick had 480MB, whereas the fake one had 464MB (or some close value).......
so, can you please tell me the capacities of the real/fake, 1GB/2GB Sony memory stick please........
thanx in advance

The fake has 468MB by the way, as for 1GB/2GB Im not too sure about the 1GB one since I have a 2GB one, but seeing that my initial size of my 2GB size might not have much differentiating the 1GB one, I would say that it was 1970+ in capacity/size. Same goes for the 1GB which would possibly have 997+ in capacity/size.

Iuno I get my 2gig from sandisk, not really aquainted with the non fakes and the reals, I just know the correct opacity size (well, around there)
