In terms of memory in computer speak 500MB is actually 512MB. Why? Due to the Binary Numbering System, computers operate in the powers of 2.
So take a normal Kilo, 1000 in normal life, true. In computers it is the closest to the power of 2 to 1000.
This equates to 2 to the power of 10 or 1024. Mega then is two to the power of 20, or 1,048,576.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024
I hope this gives the reason behind the differing numbers when it comes to computers or things electronic.
There are 1024 Bytes in a Kilobyte (KB) There are 1024 KB in a Megabyte (MB) So in 1 MB there are 1,048, 576 Bytes So in 512 MB there are 536,870,912 Bytes The amount of items you can store on the memory depends on the size of the file itself. Or did you mean how much in cost?
It can hold alot.
Pictures:About 1700
Songs:About 128
But there is a secret about a 512Mb...Its that 1 Cd can hold more then it because a Cd holds about 700Mb.
2 x512Mb would eqaul exactly 1GB of Ram.
5gb
No - 512mb is twice as much as 256mb !
512MB equals .5GB or 1/2GB.
nvidia 512mb is much sufficiant to play all games going for 1gb does not make much difference
It have 512mb
512MB of GDDR3 RAM
512MB
200
512MB
mb is smaller than gigs so 512mb is half a gig.
Yes,i have 512mb ram and Ati with 128 mb
512mb of ram and 2gigs of hard disk
No. 1 GB is twice as much as 512 MB.
