I order a F2A 64Mbit kit from gbax.com however I recived a 64Mbit Flash Advance Extreme instead...

I wonder what is the difference between the 2 models...
are their any difference between the upload drivers, speed of cart, quality, regular update of drivers?

I ordered a 256 flash advance extreme cart from game gizmo and got the 256 f2a cart. I too am wondering what the differences are. I have a Flash Advance Extreme Usb linker and ive found that it doesnt have intelligent save handling (that could be a lot of things though) and I have also found that certain 'games' have trouble retaining save information even though the f2a is supposed to have eeprom and sram saving (patchless - crashless) The f2a cart is also recognized as a turbo advance cart (maybe the root of my problem) uhhh.... rambling... looking for real specs on the two carts.
