X means wrong. All the others are right. My corrections are in red alongside the X's.

I think I got it now.

1. MB = 1,000,000 Bytes
1. MB = 1,024,000 Bytes
1. kB = 1,000 Bytes
1. kB = 1,024 Bytes
RIGHT

[nymph4]

OK this is what I did not understand and I did not put it this way befor sorry.

If you see something that says 512 MB you will write it as 512,000,000 but iff you see something that says 1024 MB you will write 1,024,000 am I RIGHT ON just this

Your first is right the second wrong!!!  Remember - Mega = 10^6  - You have written 1024 Mb as 1024 Kb - you left off three zeros!

1024 Mb could as easily be termed 1.024Gb! - 1,024,000,000

Check out what powers of 10 actually do!

OK I think I have my chart going in the right way.


1. kiB = 1,024
1. MB = 1,000,000
1. MiB = 1,048,576
1. kB = 1,000

And if we see something that says 1,024 MB we write it as 1,024,000,000

OK I think this will help me understand about Kilo Maga and Giga.

I am looking at a Motherboard that say the Frontside BUS is
1333 MHz
So would we write it as
1,333,000 Hz

Definition of mega

mega
    1,000,000 or 10^6. A prefix meaning one million. As in 100 megaton or 100,000,000 tons.

So 1333 MHz = 1333 X 1,000,000 = 1,333,000,000

[BC_Programmer]

Regardless- the binary prefix meanings are only used for memory and that definition was extended to hard disks- it's never used for hertz or any other unit, a Kilometer is 1,000 meters, not 1,024.

[nymph4]

I will tell you ware I get lost.

If I see
1024 MB I would write it as 1,024,000 Bytes that would be
One Million Tweanty Four Thousand

But if we see 1333 MHz we write it as  1,333,000 Hz

[nymph4]

So 1012 MB = 1,012,000,000
RIGHT I get it now

[Hedonist]

So 1012 MB = 1,012,000,000
RIGHT I get it now

Hey Reddevilgg, Dusty, Patio, BC_Programmer, ChrisXPPro, break out the champagne, we're gonna have a party to celebrate nymph4 getting it!   A breakthrough has at last been achieved.   Well done nymph4...

So 1012 MB = 1,012,000,000
RIGHT I get it now

[reddevilggg]

YYEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH

My champagne hasn't arrived yet - but I'll enjoy it when it does!!!!
