Contact customer service or the manufacturer and ask them, allot of times 
they will say "up-to" because perhaps 1 gig cards were not being made at the 
time.
Then you find out later they do work, after all  that's pure pocket change, 
nothing ventured nothing gained, get it ....try it if it fails...... eBay 
it.
