Which is faster 512k broadband or 2MB broadband?

You can upload/download (or whatever it is talking about) .5 mb more per second. 2mbps stands for 2 megabytes per second. 1.5mbps stands for 1.5 megabytes per second.

How do you use megabyte in a sentence?

Most programs used on your computer take up several megabytes of space on your hard drive.

How many bits are there in 1.2 Mb?

The 'k' in 'kb' stands for 'kilo', which means 1000. Therefore there are 1000 bits in a kb.

Close, but didn't really answer the specific question (see 'bits' vs 'byte'). It's really important when you get into specific record-sizes, and/or lots of records, when sizing a DB, pipe-sizes, network-sizing, traffic and whatnot, that one calculate exactly, and off by this factor (see below) could be (or become) serious matters.

K in computing means 2^10th power, in BYTES, so 1K = 1024 BYTES. Then 1 byte = 8 bits (don't EVEN get into words, dbl-words, quad-words, or any hardware-dependent stuff like that).

So, then 1K * (1024 BYTES/1K) * (8 bits/1BYTE) = 8192 BITS in a kiloBYTE.

How do you downsize mb to KB?

If you're asking about converting units between MegaBytes and KiloBytes, there are 1024 KiloBytes in a MegaByte. So, if something is 42MB, you multiply by 1024 and get 43,008Kb.

If you're asking how to make your files smaller, you need compression software, such as gzip, winzip or stuffit. Depending on the files you are trying to compress, you may be able to reduce their size significantly. Some files are very difficult to compress, however, and it's not even worth the time to shave a few bytes off the total file size.

In general, documents like MS word and excel are very easy to compress, and you can bundle thousands of them together and compress them to save lots of space. Media files such as movies and pictures can be much less useful to compress.

1pixel equal to how many mb?

That would depend on several things, among these are:

  • The color depth of the image. The RGBA standard requires 32 bits of information per pixel. An 8 bit per pixel image will represent up to 256 separate colors
  • Any compression algorithm that the image has bee subject to. JPEG compression destroys image information but gives a smaller image size than PNG compression or an uncompressed BMP (or uncompressed RGBA)

In the case of an uncompressed RGBA image you will have about 250000 pixels in your megabyte of data (a square 500 pixels on a side)

In the case of an 8 bit bitmap you have four times the area or 1000*1000 pixels (minus a little for header overhead etc.)

When it come to images that are compressed (both lossy like JPEG- JPG, or non-lossy like PNG) it depends on the image because it is easier to compress large fields of single colors than complex imagery like details of branches of a tree.

At maximum compression A 1000 *1000 pixel entirely white image weighs in at 4400 bytes as .png and 6100 bytes as jpg.

With random noise spread across the image the .png (no loss of information mind you) weighs in at 1500000 bytes (1,5Mb) While the Jpeg due to maximum compression had no color information left at all but "weighed" only 51700 byte (51.7 kb) With as little compression as possible the file size of a (good looking) jpg was 1473000 (1,47 Mb)

So there are a lot of things to consider!

How many MB in a 4 GB?

There are four-thousand ninety-six megabites in four gigabytes of ram. This breaks down as one gigabyte equalling to one-thousand twenty-four megabytes times four.

Where is the feature byte and build id on a PC?

The byte is a series of letters and numbers that is on a black stocker on the bottom of the computer. The build ID is a short series of letters and numbers that is also located on a stocker on the bottom of the computer. It will say BID.

What does AOL Mean in computer terms?

Prior to the implementation of modern broadband Internet, AOL (America Online) was one of the first Internet service providers for people with dial-up. With later advances in Internet bandwidths, AOL slowly scaled down their Internet services and eventually discontinued their Internet service to provide a feature (that was formerly exclusive to their web browsing platform in their ISP days) called AIM (AOL Instant Messenger).

What is a tregabyte?

You may be thinking of a terabyte, which is one thousand times as big as a gigabyte.

How many kilobytes to a page?

Every wen page on the Internet will have a different file size. Google is approximately 18 to 20 KB. Most websites will be upwards of 40 KB.

How do you change the size of a picture from 20.5 MB to 4 MB?

If you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager you can copy and paste the picture to that , click on picture then re size, then you can change it to your desired size.

Is it true that input and output devices perform the same function?

No. Input devices are those devices which help us to give a command or data to a computer, for example Keyboard. While output devices gives us data, for example Monitor. In the case of some devices, they can act as an Input as well as output device at the same time, like Touchscreen Monitor.

Full form of CD-ROM?

If by long form you mean what it mean, its Compact Disc-Read-Only-Memory

Why is data information is useful?

Data gives you the 'raw materials' that you process (interpret) and obtain information.

What are some strategic roles of information systems and information communication technology within an organization?

A management information system is a system that has important tools to supports, analyse, delivery and adding reliability to any organisation. Also this helps to solve businesses problems. The term MIS is often used to submit to a group of information management methods tied to the support of human decision making, e.g. Decision Support Systems, Expert systems, and Executive information systems.

How much is 2 KB?

2 KB is 2 kilobytes. A byte is a group of 8 binary digits giving 256 possible combinations of on/off states. Normally kilo means 1000 but in computers it means 1024 because 1024 is a power of 2 that is 210 = 1024. Everything in computers is based on the number 2 because switches, which is what a computer actually is, can only have 2 states, on and off. 2KB is therefore 2048 bytes (characters) This is about an A4 page of ordinary text.

What does Excel do when you press the enter key?

The thing you have typed will be entered into a cell. It may format it if the cell has pre-defined formatting. The cursor will move to the next cell below the cell you are entering something into.

Difference between real time system and interactive system?

Real-time systems run only programs that are intended to further the application at hand.Interactive systems are general purpose and may run arbitrary programs that are not cooperative or even malicious.

How many megs in a terabyte?

1 TB = 1 million meg, or 1 thousand gig 1 mega = 1,000,000 (million) 1 giga = 1,000,000,000 (billion) = 1,000 megas 1 tera = 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) = 1,000 gigas = 1,000,000,000 megas

What is Windows operating system and why it is called Windows?

An operating system (OS) is software, consisting of programs and data, that runs on computers, manages computer hardware resources, & provides common services for execution of various application software. For hardware functions such as input & output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between application programs & the computer hardware. Operating systems are found on almost any device that contains a computer from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers. Examples of popular modern operating systems for personal computers are: Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows & Linux.
