Would some one explain the GPRS bandWith numerals ?

I know that 100 Bytes is a KBYte

1,000 KBytes is a MegaBYte

whats the difference between mB and mB and Kb and KB

I think 1024b is 1Kb and 1024Kb is 1Mb and 1024Mb is 1 Gb...

Well... that is a truth with modifications.

Most hard drive companies uses 1000 and not 1024 for KB/MB/GB calculations. Memory (RAM) are usually calculated with 1024. But again - deviations have been seen...

best

but whats the difference between 1 kB and one kb

Netsucker 14 Feb 2003, 09:00

The difference is :

1 kb = 1 Kilo bit or 1024 bits
1 KB = 1 Kilo Byte or 1024 Bytes ( = 8 x 1024 bits)
1 Byte = 8 Bits

The small letter b means bits, a capital B means Bytes
