    I have an R4 Original wich came with a 2gb memory card....
    Here is a pic, just in case....

    I know R4 Original only supports 2gb, I tried 4gb and 8gb memory cards myself (just to be sure :p) and it didnt work...

    Now my doubt is: Is it possible to expand that 2GB limit of my R4 so that i could get a 4GB memorycard to work on it??
    The 4GB memory card i am trying to use is Micro SDHC....The 2GB i am currently using is just 2gb MicroSD

    Any help in the matter is much appreciated...Thanx in advance...

    If you are thinking of making it run 'SDHC' SD Micro cards, it's not possible. Not even partitioning the SDHC card will work.
    SDHC cards are those above 2GB. Those below 2GB are not SDHC.

    It's is possible to get a rare "NoN SDHC" 4GB microSD chip .

    But very few and far between.

    As long as it not sdhc type it should work.

    or just have a few 2g cards and swap as needed,
    you can organize as needed that way too.
    my son has a card just for movies,

    to expand on the answer to your question, SD and SDHC are different technologies that differ at the hardware level. SDHC is not and cannnot be backwards compatible.
