Well, strictly speaking a Kilobyte (or anything with the prefix Kilo-) is actually 1000 according to the SI (International System of Units) standards, however, we usually refer to Kilo- as 1024 as the actual prefix for 1024 is Kibi-, which sounds a little weird, so the shops just stuck to Kilo-. However, the story does not stop there, the proposed JEDC system of classification state that Kilo, Giga, and Tera stand for 1024 units.
1024
8 bits - 1 byte 1024 Bytes - 1 Kilo Byte 1024 Kilo Bytes - 1 Mega Byte 1024 Mega Bytes - 1 Giga Bytes
The Terabyte is 1024 gigabyte and the gigabyte is 1024 megabytes, therefore a Terabyte is 1024 squared megabytes, this gives 1048576 megabytes in a single terabyte. This is not to be confused with terabit (1000000megabits)
1 byte = 8 bits1 Kilo byte = 1024 bytes = 8192 bits1 Mega byte = 1024 Kilo Bytes = 1048576 bytes = 8388608 bits
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte and so on.
1000 <== alot of people believe this but it is actually 1024
525 mb = 525*1024 KB = 537600 KB It may be noted that 1 bit is 0 or 1 8 bits = 1 byte 1024 Bytes = 1 KB 1024 KB (Kilo byte) = 1 MB(Mega Byte) 1024 MB (Mega Byte) = 1 GB 1024 GB = 1 TB(Tera Byte) Answered by Jaspreet Singh mbadreamtrue.blogspot.com
In computers 1 kilo byte is 1024 bytes. But w usually say that 1 kilo byte is 1000 bytes and 1 MB is 1000000 bytes. Hence 305235 MB is 305235000000 bytes. If you want to be precise use the 1024 factor.
Currently, commercial computers (sold at hardware stores to normal customers) mostly contain hard disk that have a capacity around 500 gb, for desktops, and 120gb for notebooks. The 500gb could sometimes even be 1TB for desktops IMPROVED: As of this response (7/21/2010) the largest HDDs in production are 1.5 TB for 3.5" and 4.5 TB for external/array packages. However technology is in prototype with up to 4.5 TB 3.5" available relatively soon (within a couple years). The largest memory modules in commercial production are 16 GB DDR2 sticks, though only 4GB sticks are common for end-users. The largest SSDs available are currently around the 500 GB mark, and rediculously expensive. The largest EEPROMs are 64 MB single-chip The largest SRAM caches are 8 MB single-chip The highest commercial density storage is Blu-Ray with 25 GB per layer (50 GB dual-layer), but with HVDs and PSDs on the way. The largest tape drive is an astounding 12 TB 14.5" tape from IBM The largest Flash single-chip module is 512 MB (of course much bigger can be made combining chips, as almost all flash devices do) Largest SD card is 64 GB Largest single-CPU cache combination structure is 12,928 KB Largest CPU register bank is 4096 bits Largest HDD buffer is 32 MB Largest sequential tape memory is 1 GB Largest video card is 8 GB And that's all I know for the moment. (Whew, that took some research!)
4,096 In computer memory, "kilo" refers to 2 to the 10th power, or 1024, rather than to 1000.
I believe that 1000MB is equal to 1GB. But i may be wrong, please acn someone confirm. So mate we downloading Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial Then :) *look sir 1024 MB = 1 GB , so 815.5 MB = 80% GB " 8 bet= byte , 1024 byte = kilo byte, 1024 kilo byte "KB" = mega byte "MG" , 1024 MG = Gega byte "GB" " .. anyservice "wael awad" .
1 mega byte is equal to 1024 kilo bytesso 512 kilo byte turns out to be 0.5 mega bytes
