What's the difference between 1Mb, 2Mb, 8Mb etc?
926046
1 MB, 2 MB, 8 MB etc.. speeds are not big deal for now since most applications on the internet ran smoothly even with speeds less than 1 MB.. Unless if .you are browsing on a graphic/flash-heavily  intensive site. but that's just less than .01% of all sites in the internet.. Also if you are downloading large files downlink speed is important.. If you are uploading files uplink speed is important.. but you have to check your provider on these..  But for me this is not too important considering with the competition most providers provide faster speeds.\n\nWith that said, what I can suggest is you choose a provider that has a good tracking record with 99.99% uptime, with consistent speed and above all 24 hour technical PHONE support..\n\nThere are other criteria but for me those above are my priority\n\nGoodluck!

it depends on the motheroard the you are using.\n\nand in the world maximum mem, i dont know, i guess 4 Gigs

There's nothing wrong with your drive or computer. The discrepancy you're seeing occurs because Windows (and nearly all other operating systems too) calculates hard drive sizes in a different manner than do drive manufacturers. One uses binary and the other uses decimal. Rather than writing it all out, read this below:\n\n""Marketing" capacity versus true capacity\n\nHard drive manufacturers often use the metric definition of the prefixes "giga" and "mega", whilst nearly all operating system utilities report capacities using binary definitions for the prefixes. This is largely for historical reasons, since when storage capacities started to exceed thousands of bytes, there were no standard binary prefixes. The IEC only standardized binary prefixes in 1999, so 210 (1024) bytes was called a kilobyte because 1024 is "close enough" to the metric prefix kilo, which is defined as 103 or 1000. This trend became habit and continued to be applied to the prefixes "mega," "giga," and even "tera." Obviously the discrepancy becomes much more noticeable in reported capacities in the multiple gigabyte range, and users will often notice that the volume capacity reported by their OS is significantly less than that advertised by the hard drive manufacturer. For example, a drive advertised as 200 GB can be expected to store close to 200 x 109, or 200 billion, bytes. This uses the proper SI definition of "giga," 109 and can be considered as an approximation of a gibibyte. Since utilities provided by the operating system probably define a gigabyte as 230, or 1073741824, bytes, the reported capacity of the drive will be closer to 186.26 GB (actually, GiB), a difference of well over 7 percent. For this very reason, many utilities that report capacity have begun to use the aforementioned IEC standard binary prefixes (e.g. KiB, MiB, GiB) since their definitions are unambiguous.\n\nAnother side point is that many people mistakenly attribute the discrepancy in reported and advertised capacities to reserved space used for file system and partition accounting information. However, for large (several GiB) filesystems, this data rarely occupies more than several MiB, and therefore cannot possibly account for the apparent "loss" of tens of GBs."\n\n\nIf you want to read the whole article, see here:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_drives

There are 1024 gigabytes in a terabyte.\n1 bit (binary digit*) = the value of 0 or 1\n8 bits = 1 byte\n1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte\n1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte\n1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte\n1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte\n1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte\n(Yeah right! Is there a hard drive big enough?)

Single Layer = 4.7 GB\nDual Layer = 8.5 GB\n\nHD DVD has a single-layer capacity of 15 GB and a dual-layer capacity of 30 GB.

There are 1000 MB in 1 GB   So 512MB would be the same as about .5GB.   The 2GB is much bigger. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

The other answers here are conflicting because of the differences in kilobytes (KB) and kibibytes (KiB). 1 KB = 1000 bytes and 1 KiB = 2^20 bytes = 1024 bytes. But this was recently redefined by the computer hardware industry in order to reduce confusion among consumers. As of a few years ago, there were no KiB, and 1 KB used to equal 1024 bytes.\n\nSo currently, the answer is 4948.6 MB and 4.9486 GB. But a few years ago it would've been 4832.6 MB and 4.72 GB. This is why people get confused.

1GB = 1024MB As simple as that. NOT a 1000!!

I think you must have miss heard whoever told you these things exist...or it's an American thing;\nThe common prefixes are:\nkilobyte: 1/1,024 MB\nmegabyte: 1 MB\ngigabyte: 1,024 MB\nterrabyte: 1,048,576 MB\npetabyte: 1,073,741,824 MB\nexabyte: 1,099,511,627,776 MB

Not sure that will matter but your not going to get 2MB no matter what they say. \n\nwhat do you see from DSL Reports and others? Are you in EVDO or 1x?

1024kb per mb therefore:\n\n1024x512=524288kb

There is no difference. \n\nHowever, if you get two sticks, and there is a chance that one of your RAMS goes bad, then at least you have another one that will be a nice backup.\n\nIf you get just 1 stick, then it gives you the option of upgrading to 2 gigs in the future....otherwise you will have to pay for another 1 gig ram all over again. \n\nIf you have 4 slots, then get the 2 sticks if it saves you money.
