Your computer has 1.85 gigahertz and 512 of RAM how much memory do you have in gigabytes?

This means the processor runs at a frequency of 1.85 gigahertz. In other words (ie.) the processor's instruction counter increments 1.85 billion times per second. If we assume that this is measured in megabytes (ie. 512 MB of RAM) then the computer has 0.5 gigabytes of memory. The memory of a computer is the amount of RAM it has. Notice that the amount memory is normally a multiple of two. A gigabyte of RAM ( 1 GB ) amounts to 1024 megabytes (1024 MB) of memory.


How much more storage space do you get using 3 gigabytes at base 2 than with 3 gigabytes base 10?

Base 10: 3 Gigabytes (3 Gb) is 3,000,000,000 bytes.Base 2: 3 Giga-binary-bytes (3 Gib) is 3,221,225,472 bytes. The difference is therefore 221,225,472 bytes. Note that memory capacities are always specified precisely, in Gibs, whereas hard-disk drives are expressed approximately, in Gbs. Thus three 1 GiB memory chips will always equate to exactly 3,221,225,472 bytes while a 3 Gb hard drive is always *at least* 3,000,000,000 bytes. However, most operating systems report both memory and hard-drive capacities in Gibs rather than Gbs, but use the Gb acronym instead of the Gib acronym. Thus hard-drives always appear much smaller than they actually are. For instance, a 3 terabyte drive will be listed as a 2.7 Tb drive (rather than 2.7 Tib), but there's still at least 3 trillion bytes of capacity.


What is the memory of chip used in smart note taker?

The memory of the chip used in the Smart Note Taker is 2 Gigabytes. It holds up to 144 hours of recording in WAV format and around 72 hours of audio in MP3 format.


How many register in 2K memory chip?

Registers represent the number of memory locations. A 2K memory chip has 2x1024=2048 memory locations. Hence there are 2048 registers in a 2K memory.


What is meant by GB data?

GB is acronym for gigabyte and is used to indicate storage capacity on a computer. A gigabyte is 2^30 bytes or 1,073,741,824 bytes. Note that disk manufacturers and memory chip manufacturers use different notations. Memory chips are precisely specified such that a 1 GB memory chip is guaranteed to provide storage for exactly 1,073,741,824 bytes. However, hard drives only give approximate storage capacities such that 1 GB only guarantees storage capacity for at least 10^9 bytes, or 1 billion bytes, which is the equivalent of a 0.93 GB memory chip. Technically, hard-drive manufacturers use the correct notation since the prefixes kilo-, mega- and giga- literally equate to some power-of-ten (10^3, 10^6 and 10^9 respectively). However, it is not possible to create a memory chip with exactly 10^3 bytes, it has to be an exact power-of-two (2^10, 2^20 and 2^30, respectively). The reason memory has to be an exact power-of-two stems from the way in which memory is addressed on a binary computer. In order to address 1000 bytes we'd need at least 10 bits in the range 0000000000 through 1111100111 (0 to 999 decimal) which means there are 24 invalid addresses in the range 1111101000 through 1111111111 (1000 to 1023 decimal). This over-complicates circuit design; it's much easier to make all bit patterns valid by adding on those missing 24 addresses thus giving us the full kilo-binary-byte capacity of 1024 bytes. Hard-drive manufacturers are less constrained in the way storage is addressed, because the addressing is subject to the operating system and the way in which the hard-drive is formatted. Typically, a hard-drive is divided up into addressable clusters which are themselves some power-of-two bytes in length, such as clusters of 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096 bytes. In an effort to avoid confusion, the terms kilo-binary-byte (KiB), mega-binary-byte (MiB) and giga-binary-byte (GiB) are used to indicate precise memory capacities while KB, MB and GB are used to indicate the more generalised hard disk capacities. However, these terms is not widely adopted. For instance, Windows operating systems use the term KB to mean 1024 bytes whether reporting memory capacity or hard drive capacity, hence a 300 GB hard-drive only has capacity for 279.4 GB of storage on Windows. But 279.4 GB is 300 billion bytes so, strictly-speaking, it is quite correct to call it a 300 gigabyte drive.

What is the meaing of GB in the new nokia n95?

GB means gigabytes, a unit in measuring memory size. If you are referring to Nokia N95 8GB, 8GB represents internal memory. So you will have the storage capacity of ten 800MB CD's right from the box without the need of buying extra memory cards.


Are more gigabytes good or bad?

Extremely excellent. The higher number of gigabytes = the more memory that you have. 1 Terabyte, which equals approximately to 1024 Gigabytes, is the best you can have.


Convert 14.5 mega watts to gigabytes?

Mega watt is unit of Power whereas Gigabyte represents memory capacity , So we can't convert them into each other. In case your question is convert 14.5MB into GB then devide 14.5MB by 1024 and you get the memory in GBs. i.e 14.5MB divided by 1024 =0.014 Gigabytes
