A chip is the small integrated circuit that is installed on a memory board or inside a memory stick. It is not independent, and you don&amp;#39;t carry one of these.  A card is an integrated circuit mounted on a flat board that is plugged into a bus (inside a laptop or a tower), or inserted into a reader/writer device (secure digital card. ) You need the proper reader / writer devicefor it to work.  A memory stick has the memory and all the electronic circuitry for reading and writing the memory inside. It is independent and portable - it can be plugged into a USB (or other common type of ) port.</description></item><item><title>This memory stick/card/chip</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThisMemoryStickCardChip/hrdcl/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2009 04:35:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:585559</guid><dc:creator>Angliholic</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThisMemoryStickCardChip/hrdcl/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-585559.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>This memory stick will enable you to save more than four hundred images in your digital camera.  Hi, I googled the terms &amp;quot;memory stick, card, and chip,&amp;quot; and they all exist. But I wonder it they all refer to the same thing. Thanks.</description></item></channel></rss>
