its simple and easy, one megabyte is equal to 1 million bytes so do the math bytes megabytes 1,000,000 = 1 10,000,000 = 10 100,000,000 = 100 250,000,000 = 250 and just check how many chips the memory have and do the math ...had to edit this answer substantially for inaccuracies, I think what he was trying to get at is divide the total DIMM memory by the number of chips on the module(ie: 256/8 = 32 megabytes per chip, or 32,000,000 bytes). Then to convert to bits you would need to multiply by 8 again (8 bits in a byte). Mind you this is for how much memory is on each chip and I don't think that is what this question is asking. I think http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_bits_of_information_does_a_single_cell_of_a_memory_chip_on_a_256MB_PC2700_DDR_module_hold would be a more reliable answer.

That memory stick has a capacity of 256 megabytes. 256 megabytes = 256,000,000 bytes. 256,000,000 bytes = 2,048,000,000 bits.
