New page

Computer ram is identified by Binary numbers, which means that the number of addressable locations naturally becomes a power of 2.

For example 1KB = 210 = 1024 bytes.

== The different units of computer ram (also used for computer storage)==

*bit - A single binary digit, taking a value of either 0 or 1
*byte - 23 - The 8-bit byte is the standard of modern systems. Therefore in general terms there are 8 bits in a byte.
*Kilobyte - KB - 210 - 1024 bytes
*Megabyte - MB - 220 - 1,048,576 bytes - 1024KB
*Gigabyte - GB - 230 (10243) - approximately 1.07 billion bytes - 1024MB
*Terabyte - TB - 240 - 1024 bytes
