Quick question?

[chilihost]

its all based on the powers of 2, ie 2,4,8,16....1024. Officially 1G = 1024M, but as an approximation its easy to say 1 G = 1000 M.

Now here is where the totally geeky confusion sets in, if you are dealing with some products (like disk drives) or some companies (like Dell) they calculate it at 1G = 1000M not 1024M, this is why disk drives are always smaller when you look at their total space in explorer as opposed to what you think you bought.

hope that helps make things clear as mud LOL!!!

cheers,
