Byte count in KB, MB, GB
Author
If 1KB = 1024 bytes, is
500 KB = 500 * 1024 bytes = 512,000 bytes
1000 KB = 1 MB = 1000 * 1024 bytes
1000 MB = 1 GB = 1000 * 1000 1024 bytes
???
or 1 MB = 1024 KB and 1 GB = 1024 MB
???
1 KB = 1024 Bytes
1MB = 1024 KB = 1,048,576 Bytes
1GB = 1024 MB = 1,048,576 KB = 1,073,741,824 Bytes
is all based on 2 to the power of ten
ADD:: AHHH you beat me ;p

Well, that depends on what electronics catalog you're reading from. [rolleyes]

uh
more like what parallel universe you are from
Actually I do think that some companies follow a different standard, but it might have been for something else.

They certainly do. Some companies even "combine" your onboard RAM with the memory in your graphics card, sometimes actually fooling some people in the process. A sick game they play.

I think hard drives use base 10.

no base 2
the same system binary computers use

that has NOTHING to do with the number of bytes in a KB or MB in a gigabyte

This comes from the following, since no one has really explained it:
1 kB = 2^10 bytes = 2^10
1 MB = 2^20 bytes = 2^10 * 2^10
1 GB = 2^30 bytes = 2^10 * 2^10 * 2^10
... (and so on) ...
