How to Increase Wii Memory

With the latest firmware update to the Nintendo Wii, gamers are finally able to transfer and download WiiWare and Virtual Console games to be played directly from an SD card. Using an SD card increases a Wii's memory beyond what is available on the console, allowing for the download of more games, more channels and more fun.
