How big is a gigabyte of memory?
What do you mean? 1024MB = 1 GB i think he meant how many gigabits in a gigabyte too which the answer would be 8
What meant by megabytes kilobytes and gigabytes?
It refers to the size of files which is what is used in a computer. Byte: 1 Kilobyte: 1,000 bytes Megabyte: 1,000,000 bytes Gigabyte: 1,000,000,000 bytes
What is meant by megabytekilobyte and gigabyte?
Kilobyte, megabyte and gigabyte are all measurements in computer storage. GB has the highest value whereas KB has the smallest. Example: 1000 KB = 1 MB 1000 MB = 1 GB
Need to get a new computer for your grandmother is 2gm memory and 500 gb hard drive good for internest use game use like solitare word documents and pictures?
I meant 2gb and 500gb also comes with windows 7 multi in 1 card reader and gigabit ethernet is this a good processer?
What is meant by apple iPad 32gb?
An Apple IPad is a computer tablet. You can use it for your daily computing or as an e-Reader. The 32GB means that the Apple IPad has storage capacity of 32 gigabytes.
What is 4 gb ram?
4 gigabytes. That about the same as 2000 of those old floppy discs. These days, it's about the size of the RAM you would get in a new computer, the quick, solid state memory that is on a series of chips. For storage, a computer also uses a hard drive. Accessing data on these is slower, but common sizes these days are 2000 gigabytes or 2 terabytes (TB).
On a computer what is the difference between MG and GB of storage space?
[This answer assumes the asker meant to say "difference between MB and GB")] A MB, or megabyte is 106 (1,000,000) bytes of space. A GB, or gigabyte is 109 (1,000,000,000) bytes of space. Unfortunately most computer operating systems and software (including Windows) incorrectly refer to MB and GB when they mean MiB and GiB leading to a public confusing of the true meaning of GB and MB. A MiB, or Mebibyte is 220 (1,048,576) bytes of space. A GiB, or Gibibyte is 230 (1,073,741,824) bytes of space. In either case the difference is that a GB is approximately one thousand times as large as a MB.
What is meant by memory address?
A memory address is an identifier for a memory location, at which a computer program or a hardware device can store data and later retrieve it.
What is ment by GB?
What is meant by GB - is dependent on the context ! GB is short for Great Britain, and also short for Giga Byte.
What is the best way to speed up a windows 7 computer?
Windows 7 needs to have plenty of room and memory. If you upgraded an older Windows system without adding memory to your computer, that could be the problem.Here's the minimum requirements to run Windows 7 on your PC:1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driverHowever, it would be better to have a 2 GB processor and RAM and as much harddrive space as you can afford, since the minimums are just that...not meant for speed.
How many pictures in a 2gb memory card?
It depends how big pictures your camera takes - how many megapixels it has and what type of files it writes. More megapixels -> bigger files -> less pictures on a memory card. RAW files are few times bigger than JPG files.
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.
