Just remember that everything goes by halves. Half of 1024 is 512, half of that is 256, half of that is 128, etc. Ergo, if 1 gig is the greatest after 512, you can tell that 1 gig is double of 512.
It's a handy tool for when you forget those numbers.
Odd, I seem to recall that 513 is the greatest integer after 512.
Oh, the irony. I hate math.
This is being all technical and snippy, but I never said integer, I just said "1 gig is the greatest after 512;" it was implied that I meant the greatest common denomination in terms of memory is 1 gig.
And mathematically, it's just [ 2x ]. 2 times of the 512MB=1GB, 2 times of 16MB=32MB, etc.
