| | Megabyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As of 2005, the RAM capacity of most personal computers is measured in mebibytes, although the word "megabyte" is (mistakenly) used. | | | This quantity may be referred to unambiguously as a mebibyte (see binary prefixes). | | | For example, 512 "megabytes" of RAM actually designates 512 mebibytes, or a little less than 537 megabytes. |

| | Thus, one megabyte would be 10^6 bytes, but one mebibyte would be 2^20 bytes. | | | Under this proposal, for binary numbers the third and fourth letters in the prefix are changed to "bi", so "mega" becomes "mebi" for example. | | | The abbreviation would become "1 MiB" instead of "1 MB". |

| | Review: Vosonic XS-Drive II |
| | Anyway, even "1Gb" cards (likely real capacity around 980Mb) aren't stupidly expensive, and Hitachi Microdrives (which used to be IBM Microdrives, before Hitachi ate the IBM storage division) verge on actual cheapness. | | | It's a bit more per real megabyte; like other storage manufacturers, CompactFlash card makers think a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes, not the binary-correct 1,048,576 bytes. | | | The standards people want that to be called a "mebibyte", but it doesn't look likely to happen. |
