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
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!)
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.
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
