In reality, 1gb is 1024mb. Therefore, a hard drive that is sold as a 320gb hard drive has only 312.5gb of actual space. Calling it a 320gb hard drive is a marketing ploy to make it sound larger. You also lose some of the hard drive capacity to what you might call overhead; tracking and format information that allows your computer to store and find stuff on the hard drive. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
