| 413962 | 2005-12-20 17:11:00 | now here is something interesting 2^10 1,024 = 1 KiloBits 2^20 1,048,576 = 1 MegaBits 2^30 1,073,741,824 = 1 GigaBits notice each time you add a ^10 the result goes up 10E3 (roughly) Of course a Mebibyte is a variant way of spelling Megabyte when it is close to " Merry Christmas and ....... " which is 2^23, I wonder if there is a meganibble 2^22? I suppose in the theory books there would be. On the other hand you should not listern to me when it gets close to " Merry Christmas and ....... " and first thing in the morning 8 equals 2^3 so a 1 MegaBite is 2^20 and a 1 MegaByte is 2^23 I'm going for a cold shower |
