It could be, but many modern computers have 8GB or more, that is 8 million KB!
The amount of memory a given computer may have could be written in B, KB, MB, GB, etc. by using the appropriate binary-metric prefix.
Examples:
- 128B the internal RAM of a simple microcrontoller
- 64KB the typical memory of an early 1980s microcomputer
- 2.7MB the amount of memory required to save a photo
- 12GB memory of a modern laptop computer
- 256GB memory of a modern supercomputer
- etc.
However prior to 1964 when IBM released their line of System 360 computers and defined the byte as being 8 bits, memory size was measured in many different units:
- words, used on "scientific" computers (most were binary, but a few were decimal). Typical word sizes varied from about 36 bits to 60 bits (on decimal computer words varied from about 10 digits to 18 digits) with memory sizes typically ranging from 1K words to 32K words.
- characters or digits, used on "business" computers. These systems were all decimal, characters were usually 6 bits + 1 parity bit (7 bits), digits were usually 4 bits + 1 parity bit (5 bits) with memory sizes typically ranging from 20K characters/digits to 100K characters/digits. Many business computers had variable "word" size.

How many pixels is in a kilo bite?
PixEl = Picture Element. Kilo byte (not bite) = Size of memory / hard disk etc... 1024.... This will differ per camera/img. There will usually be a header including picture information, which usually takes at least 32 kb. Each pixel generally contains from 1 bit to 8 kb of color information, depending on how it is stored.
What is KB in chemistry?
kb is the Dissociation Constant for Bases.
Convert MB to KB?
1 MB = 1024 KB.
What are the four units of measure for computer memory and storage not including the byte?
Name 4 memory units in which memory of a storage device is measured not includin byte?
What Kb values represents the strongest base?
Kb=1.62 * 10-12
What does KB?
KILA BYTE it is a memory unit
What is the expanded memory of a computer motherboard?
Expanded memory was to use part of the remaining 384 KB, normally dedicated to communication with peripherals, for program memory as well. In order to fit potentially much more memory than the 384 KB of free address space would allow, a bankingscheme was devised, where only selected portions of the additional memory would be accessible at the same time. Originally, a single 64 KB window of memory was possible; later this was made more flexible. Applications had to be written in a specific way in order to access expanded memory.
What memory type has logical memory allocation of 0 to 640 KB?
Conventional
What is the page size KB on a Pentium computers?
The page size for Pentium comptuers is 4 KB
What is the size of each memory segment of 8086 is?
The 8086 was only capable of addressing 1Mbyte of memory. It was divided into segments of 65536 bytes (64 KB) each meaning about 16 segments.
Is 420 KB a lot of memory?
Not by today's standards. When I first got into computers - the Sinclair Spectrum I had - came with just 48 KB of memory. Modern computers come with at least 2 Gigabytes (or 2,097,152 KB) as standard !
Memory pages are stored in units of what?
4 kb
What uses more memory a MB or a KB?
A megabyte.
What does KB mean?
KILA BYTE it is a memory unit
Determine the amount of memory that the ATMEGA 32 can address?
it has 32 kB of internal memory
What file size is the largest B or KB?
Kilobyte, or KB.
What is the maiximum size of memory?
It's a Tera Byte. 1024 GB = 1 TB. 1024 KB = 1 MB 1024 MB = 1 GB
