I disagree with using Cisco compact flash when in production. Why should I
spend $900 dollars for a 512 compact flash card from Cisco, when I can get
the same compact flash for $100 dollars?
It's the same flash, just re-branded to say Cisco. I checked into this,
Cisco's' take is that you should only use Cisco compact flash. They won't
even support a third party vendor that says it's "Cisco approved"
Hey, it's just a static drive that your image is going to sit on. If it
fails, replace it.
Just my take on this.

cisco2811 seems using Compat Flash and you can try 3rd party 64Mb
Compat Flash for trial. But you should use cisco compat flash when
your router is put on production.
