SKU.91487 and SKU.36236 should be the same hardware and the same software like r4i-yes. It's only renamed with another label on it.

Personally, I would not recommend any of the R4-Clone Cards.

If you need a cheap card for the DS or DS lite, the original R4 Revolution (SKU: 30786) would be my favourite (works only with non-SDHD-micro-SD-Cards).

If you need a card for the DSi or DSi XL, the Supercard DSTWO it the best card you can get. But not that cheap.
The Acekard2i is also a good choice, but you need another DS, DS lite or DSi (with 1.3 firmware) to update the core files to make the Acekard2i ready for the DSi firmware 1.4 or later.

The R4 Revolution with Non-SDHC Support (max. 2GB micro SD-Card) are the original ones. An advantage is its solid built and you can use the new Wood R4 Firmware for the card.
Search for SKU: 30787, 30786, 19236

The R4 Clone Cards should work too, at least with older NDS Games. But the firmware support is not that good and chances are big, that new games wont work on the clones.

OK, than perhaps the Acekard2i (SKU: 18728) with the Akaio Firmware. Here is a nice HowTo guide: http://tinyurl.com/25rvvw4
Or the DSTT (SKU: 15613) with the unofficial-firmware from gbatemp (http://tinyurl.com/2ubjyml).
I would prefer the Acekard2i, but the DSTT is cheaper and the built quality is better.

But if you have already bought the other card, try it and if you are happy with the flashcard and the firmware on it, use it.
