Use of Caps are important when specifying size.

1mb = 1 milli-bit (which makes no sense)

1Mb = 1 megabit

1MB = 1 megabyte

8 bit equals 1 byte.

1 megabyte can mean both 1024x1024 ( 1048576) bytes as well as 1000x1024 ( 1024000 ) bytes.

A single gigabyte is equal to 1000 megabytes. Kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, these terms are all powers of 10. The terms are used to refer to hard drive capacity. They are not to be confused with gibibyte and mebibyte, which are used to refer to RAM capacity and all powers of 2.

There are 1024 Megabytes in a gigabyte.

It's the same with KB to MB

Most businesses and people just say that a gigabyte is equal to 1000 megabytes.

Hope This Helps!

James I am sorry

1gb is not 1000mb and most businesses do not say that I have been doing this for 20+ years the proper answer and most accurate is 1gb=1024mb so 2gb is 1024x2=2048 do the same for others like 8gb = 8192 which was 1024x8.

1mb=1024kb and 1kb=1024b

Any expert who truly knows what their talking about will give you these answers.

Also I am a avid gamer on the side of my business and I am always working with trying new memory calculations etc.

I am not trying to be rude just bringing up a very valid point as politely as I can!

** you can call me your worst damn nightmare **

To the person with 20 plus years experience all I have to say is the first of all you need to learn how to read because in no way did James state that 1000 megabytes is equal to a gigabyte! In fact he started his article with there are "1024 megabytes in a gigabyte" so you're little insert that started with "James I am sorry but 1 gigabyte is not 1000 megabytes" just make sure 20 plus years experience look a little odd and your grammar is crap! Pardon my little insert here but I'm currently mobile talking to my tablet to make this! Now, going to James next part of " most businesses and people tend to say 1000 megabytes instead of 1024 megabytes " is actually correct more than you obviously know! Google 8 gigabytes is equal to how many megabytes and you'll see right there that it shows eight gigabytes is equal to 8000 megabytes and that's the Google online unit converter, so that shows that yes a lot of big business small business everyday people tend to round it down or up or they are just missed informed but in no way is this article written by James incorrect nor is it incorrectly worded! But you on the other hand you might want to review proofread and then offer a not so rude but very valid point on your own damn article insert!
