Re: SEV question

Well, I was talking about the actual organization of all those transistors. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Although I was shown the circuitry for a memory bit once. Don't remember it, though.

Things just got more complex from there. Because bits have 2 possible values, things just double in size as they progress. This is why if you look at the amount of actual bytes in a memory stick is never exactly what they advertise. If you measure things in binary terms, a kilobit is actually 1024 bits (2^10).

Re: SEV question

Why would it need to? A kilobit is just 1/(byte size)th of a kilobyte. The same nomenclature and arithmetic apply to bits and bytes.

...Because it said it would? 'Kbyte vs. kbit'?
