command "free -b"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



reading the man page of the command free with option -b:

  The  -b  switch  displays  the amount of memory in bytes

But: I have 2 Gigbyte memory machine, and the command "free -b" displays 2109034496.
But (((2109034496/1024)/1024)/1024) is not the integer 2.

Can somebody explain this? BIOS effect?
