The answer to this question depends on two key factors, the definition of a kilobyte, and that of a memory location:

First, is kilobyte meant in the standard engineering meaning of a multiplier of one thousand, or is it mean to represent a factor of 210, commonly known as a kilobyte, but more correctly called a kibibyte?

Thus, one kilobyte can mean 1000 bytes, or 1024 bytes.

Second, what is a memory location? Most memory types have a bitwise organization, so 1000 or 1028 bytes would refer to 8000 or 8196 bits, respectively, and refer to 8000 or 8196 memory locations thus.

Other implementations of memories may implement a different granularity, for example based on 16, 24, 32 or even larger number of bits per location.
