Hi,

I'm reading an A+ Certification book and one thing really has me stumped. The book keeps referring to RAM sizes as, for example, 1[MB] X 32[bit? byte?] = 4 MB. I just can't figure out how to calculate it like that. What's the formula for calculating it?

Thanks so much, I'm really frustrated with this.

Thanks! I didn't realize I had to change the bits to bytes before I multiplied.
