How many MB'S= 1 GB?

Just curious.

It's actualy 1024MB if you wanna get really technical lol. Narcadox

Yep.

He is correct

[QUOTE="Narcadox"]It's actualy 1024MB if you wanna get really technical lol. d14m23

He is correct

Yes, I know its 1024 *technically* but for all general purposes its 1000.

*points at all the nerds who posted 1024*

There are no general purposes, a gigabyte is always 1024MB and neva deviates from this.

In all actuallity...

1KB = 1024 characters
1MB = 1048576 characters
1GB = 1073741824 characters

"1024 bytes is equal to 1Kb

1024 Kb is equal to 1 Mb

1024 Mb is equal to 1 Gb

If you want to be technical about the maths, then strictly speaking, Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera/Petaetc are all just prefixes that indicate the power to which the original number is raised.

Kilo = 10^3

Mega = 10^6

Giga = 10^9 etc...

So a Gigabyte is 8x10^9 bits.

Or 1x10^9 bytes.

But in computing terms, 1024 is usually the standard definition.

So sayeth the wikipedia:

1. 1,000,000 bytes (10002, 106): This is the definition recommended by the International System of Units (SI) and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC. This definition is used in networking contexts and most storage media, particularly hard drives, Flash-based storage, and DVDs, and is also consistent with the other uses of the SI prefix in computing, such as CPU clock speeds or measures of performance.
2. 1,048,576 bytes (10242, 220): This definition is most commonly used in reference to computer memory, but most software that display file size or drive capacity, including file managers also use this definition. See Consumer confusion (in the "gigabyte" article).
3. 1,024,000 bytes (1000×1024): This is used to describe the formatted capacity of USB flash drives and the "1.44 MB" 3.5 inch HD floppy disk, which actually has a 1,440 KiB capacity, that is, 1,440×1,024 bytes, or 1,474,560 bytes.

^^^LOL!

Actually, Megabyte just needs to fuse with Hexadecimal to become Gigabyte.

I'm going to report all of you to the mods....I find it very offensive that you guy are having a intelligent disscusion that us slow people can't keep up with....prepair to get BANNED!!!! lol....just kidding:)...well at least with the banned part:shock:

Retailers normally calculate in base 10 as opposed to base 2.

So, when they advertise a HDD as having 40GB capacity (base 10 implied), when you plug it into your computer, don't be surprised to find that it only has about 37.25GB capacity.

I'll try not to dwell into the details but it's got more or less to do with how they might have calculated every GB as 1000000000 Bytes rather than 1073741824 Bytes (depending on how they did the conversions really). It's technically fraud, but maybe there's a loophole somewhere.

Edit:

Actually, as the previous poster has pointed out, they use different prefixes to differentiate the decimal and binary calculations.

KiB (Kibibytes) are calculated as 1024 Bytes
KB (Kilobytes) are calculated as 1000 Bytes

heheh, this thread is full of nerd win! :D

which is by far the best kind of "win"

okay around a 1000, alright, nuff said, convo over!ronniepage588

Who cares! lolJordanKid

lol the guy who asked the question

Just curious.

Depends on if you are the PR type, tech type, or math type..... or I guess the "over 9000" anime freak type.

No, for all general purposes it's 1 Gigabyte. Any other purpose is for technical discussion or programming, then it's still 1024 MB. I could only imagine the horrors of managing memory with any programming language thinking that a gig is an even thousand.

How's that for nerdy?

I'm guessing that I'm the only one that got that Reboot reference. Nice. Dude, check out www.reboot.com for the new web comic of Reboot that's coming out.
