I don't think that's correct. I understand the 1000/1024 debate, but my understanding is that KB = 1000 bytes KiB = 1024 bytes (personally, I think the whole kibi-byte thing is stupid, and we should just say that K=1024 when talking about memory sizes, but whatever) I've never seen K=1000 and k=1024. Then why don't we do "mB" instead of MB? By your logical, M=1000000 and m=1048576 -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
