icepik2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Which is Bigger 340Mb or 1.00g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Is this a trick question?1GB=1,000MB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 I also say 1gb is bigger.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazwegion Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Is it physically possible for the actual drive (encasement) to be bulkier? <_< otherwise... 1 Gigabyte pwns the 360 megabyte HDD smaller ---> larger byte kilobyte megabyte gigabyte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Yeah, the GB is about 3 times the amount of the 340. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Is this a trick question?1GB=1,000MB normally i'd let this slip.. but since it's answering someone who doesn't know... it's actually 1024MB... 1GB = 1024MB (GigaBytes : MegaBytes) 1MB = 1024KB (MegaBytes : KiloBytes) 1KB = 1024B (KiloBytes : Bytes) 1B = 8b (1 Byte = 8 bits) so there you have it... that's all you really need to know... maybe you'll have to know about TeraBytes soon... but for now, that's it.

Erikin1 Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 I lvoe it when people bring tetrabyte servers to LAN's =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 normally i'd let this slip.. but since it's answering someone who doesn't know... it's actually 1024MB... 1GB = 1024MB (GigaBytes : MegaBytes) 1MB = 1024KB (MegaBytes : KiloBytes) 1KB = 1024B (KiloBytes : Bytes) 1B = 8b (1 Byte = 8 bits) so there you have it... that's all you really need to know... maybe you'll have to know about TeraBytes soon... but for now, that's it. actually those are gibibyte, kibibyte, mebibyte. Giga mega and kilo are the even numbers. That is, if you want to be exact and all http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Gibibyte.html http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html god bless the metric system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are incorrect its only 1024 in the OS, everthing is uped a bit in the os, look at your clock speed in POST its gonna be about 20-50mhz slower... anyway 1000EB=1ZB (Exabytes : Zettabytes) 1000PB = 1EB (Petabytes : Exabytes) 1000TR = 1PB (Terabytes : Petabytes) 1000GB = 1TB (GigaBytes : Terabytes) 1GB = 1000MB (GigaBytes : MegaBytes) 1MB = 1000KB (MegaBytes : KiloBytes) 1KB = 1000B (KiloBytes : Bytes) 1B = 8b (1 Byte = 8 bits) 10,000,000,000GB = 1 Zettabyte, cant wait till our hard drives are that big! I hope thanks helps...Yes we havnt gone over Gigabytes yet, but all those are still out there...yes they are real...

hardnrg Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 omg p8baller... binary system? hello? base2? does this ring any bells? and joe, while mebi MIGHT be the official name for a 2^20 quantity, no-one uses it for computers... i've never heard anyone mention it til you just did... not even the professors at uni who write books on computers! mega = 2^20 = 1048576 unless you sell hard-drives and then its a million Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit torrent client I use along with the traffic graphs on many major systems use KiB. The reason your 100 gig hard drive only shows up as 80 or so is because Microsoft got it wrong, not the hard drive manufacturer or anyone else. Software makers are to blame for this.
