September 17, 200718 yr My computer has a maximum of 1g and I will be removing the current cards and replacing them with 2 new 512 MB cards adding to a total of 1024mb. Well the extra 24 MB cause an negative effects on my computer. here are my computers specs http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu ... en&lang=en -no longer playing runescape, I have moved on to play world of warcraft. But I love the community of the forums so I plan to stay here.
September 17, 200718 yr 1G = 1024 mbs, so no.. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
September 17, 200718 yr Author ty for your answer i guess i always assumed that one gb equaled 1000mb -no longer playing runescape, I have moved on to play world of warcraft. But I love the community of the forums so I plan to stay here.
September 17, 200718 yr For future reference: Computers all work in the same way, from binary. Binary is always expressed as factors of two, i.e. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 etc. Every number can then be made up from those factors, for example, if you wanted to make 26, you would take, 2, 8 and 16. This would be expressed in binary terms as 01011. RAM memory is made up in binary form too, so you will get 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB etc. For simplicity, we call 1024MB, 1 GB. Most people think of a gigabyte as 1000MB, or 1 Billion bytes, but this isn't the case. This is often where confusion arises when discussing /calculating file sizes. So, as zaquierming said, no, its not a problem. 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength

So, as zaquierming said, no, its not a problem. The confusion is more based on hard drive and flash memory manufacturers. They count a GB as a 1000MBs so that it seems that your getting more storage than your actually getting because the OS uses the binary system (explained above).
