If you meant "How many kilobytes are in a megabyte?" then it's 1024.

[Cheezeio]

thnx

[dELtaluca]

Yeh, kilobytes etc are misguiding

following normal prefix rules, a kilobyte SHOULD be 1000bytes, however since we are working in powers of 2 (binary) its far more suitable to use 1024

(same applying to mb, gb, tb)

2^10 (1024)

[petabyte, exabyte, zettabyte and yottabyte]

For example, I have 3eb's of space on my PC.

i very much doubt you have 3,000,000,000 (3trillion) Gb of space on your comp.

hmm lets see, the normal biggest harddrive you would get might be 600gb, so youd need 5 million of them. yeh..sure

That's 3 billion, actually.

And I didn't do that math...but that's still a little far-fetched...

Heh, I wish =P

Some American company is on the verge of 1pb though - some new method of manipulating the electrons or something.

you can count on some companies having far more than that, especially web hosts and search engines, even NG probably has over 1000 tb

I thought it was picobytes not petabytes. Well I know capacitors have the same kind of naming convesntions (in farads) and they are picofarads

I think he meant in 1 PC-sized HDD

And sorry I was wrong farads can be measured in picfarads but bytes cant - my bad :P

[SRN]

Hehe, you could daisy-chain a whole bunch of scsi drives into one large raid array... the operating system thinks it's 1 hard drive.

Yeah, I meant one single HDD. Also NG has about 1tb I think Wade said it was (there was a topic about it ages ago)

Oh god -.-

pico = small (10^-12)
peta = huge (10^15)

1 megabyte = 1 024 kilobytes

Wrong :)
1 megabyte = 1000 kilobytes
1 mebibyte = 1024 kibibytes...
-> Computer units

i counted 3 including that little one that jumped out and ran down the road

yeh but only strange people use mebi and kibi, everything else just treats it as a special case of mega and kilo
