<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Computer ram is identified by Binary numbers, which means that the number of addressable locations naturally becomes a power of 2.<br />

For example 1KB = 2<sup>10</sup> = 1024 bytes.<br />

== The different units of computer ram (also used for computer storage)==<br />
<br />
*bit - A single binary digit, taking a value of either 0 or 1<br />
*byte - 2<sup>3</sup> - The 8-bit byte is the standard of modern systems. Therefore in general terms there are 8 bits in a byte.<br />
*Kilobyte - KB - 2<sup>10</sup> - 1024 bytes<br />
*Megabyte - MB - 2<sup>20</sup> - 1,048,576 bytes - 1024KB<br />
*Gigabyte - GB - 2<sup>30</sup> (1024<sup>3</sup>) - approximately 1.07 billion bytes - 1024MB<br />
*Terabyte - TB - 2<sup>40</sup> - 1024 bytes</div>Harrison
