Everyone here is partially correct ... but this is the complete answer :
If you are talking about RAM (the memory in your PC or the sum storage of several CDs...where data qty is called RAM), then it's 1024MB = 1GB and 1024KB=1MB.
The CD industry standard is different. They use a term for storage called "RAM".
The "MB" for RAM means 1024x1024, but for hard drives it means 1000x1000. A data CD that can hold 650 "RAM" MB of data holds about 682 "disk" MB of data.

If you're talking about a hard drive, then the problem is that hard drive manufactures a couple of years ago started rounding their numbers, leading to all sorts of confusions - they say 1000MB = 1GB.
It depends in which context.
The 1024 comes from every base number in computing being a power of 2, 2^10 = 1024. This is a result of the way a PC addresses memory.
Hard disk storage need not be addressed in the same manner.

1 gigabyte = 1 024 megabyte
30 gigabyte = 30 * 1024 = 30 720 megabyte.
