Well Im pretty sure its 1000. Two 512 ram chips give you a bit over a gig when upgrading

1024 KB = a MB
1024 KB = a GB 1024 GB = a TB and on and on. ITs always 1024 units, but many counts use only 1000 as the base: This is why your hard drive will show smaller than it is supposed to be. Hope this was helpful. Its easy to remember once you.. well.. remember it. haha. |

1 GB = 1,024 MB = 104,876 KB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
|

Or...
There are 8 bits in a byte 1,024 (Or 2 the 10) bytes in a Kilobyte 1,024 kilobytes in a Megabyte and 1,024 Megabytes in a Gigabyte |

check on wikipedia about TerraBytes and such.. the scale goes on for quite some time.
also, the complex bit math was.. awesome. haha. |

Thanks everyone. My modem allows me 5gb per month so that would equate to 5,120 mb per month.
Aww that is so cool. I was under using it. That is really good news. Thanks again all. Much appreciated. |

I also just had it pointed out to me there is a difference between Mb for Megabit and MB for MegaByte. As one is an eighth of the size of the other, this is worth watching out for on specs and advertising. |

Yup 8 bits to a Byte MB is the bigger one |

Hope this was helpful. Its easy to remember once you.. well.. remember it. haha. Actually, you are part right and part wrong. In actuality, yes there are 1024KB because of the way the computer is set up, but that is really not 1 GB, that is 1.024 GB. This is measured in the metric system and the metric system uses increments of 10. |
