Hi
I'm not a computer whiz, but I think I know that:
1024 bytes = 1 KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB
or if you prefer, 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes
1 KB = 1,024 bytes
That's it for your question. See you!

Hi
yes, indeed 1 GB != 1000 MB
actually, you multiply by 1024 each time, not by 1000.
1 GB = 1024 MB = 1024 * 1024 KB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes.
there you go

It is only by not paying one's bills that one can
hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.

Just like 1KB is not 1000 bytes, 1GB is not 1000MB
1KB = 1024 bytes
1MB = 1024 KB = 1024^2 bytes
1GB = 1024 MB = 1024^3 bytes = much more than one billion bytes.
This explains why, for example, a CD with 710,000 KB has a size of less than 700 MB.
So why 1024? Because it is a power of 2, making it easily representable in binary (=> 2^10 or 10000000000 in base 2, unlike 1000 (01111100111 in base 2). Finally, from what I remember from my first classes on binary, maybe someone can explain it better than I can....

Hi Roberto,
still the same problem...
but 1000 MB does not equal 1 GB and vice versa
the answer has already been given, but what message????
see you later

I'm already flying enough on my own
