I think if SDHC is supported it should support 32GB. I use a 4GB card.

Yes 32GB should work. When I add SDXC support to sd-boot, you should be able to use all those cards too (over 32GB!)

SD: 1 MB to 4 GB
SDHC: 4 GB to 32 GB
SDXC: 32 GB to 2 terabyte

To answer your pm and for others too.

You'll probably need to install a USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller driver and then you can use a USB 2.0 compatible SDHC card reader, I don't think USB 1.0 card readers support SDHC and even if they did transfering files to them would be slow as hell in the backwards USB 1.0 compatibilty mode.
If you don't already have usb 2.0 slot on your comp you'll need to install a usb 2.0 PCI card.
