Can anyone tell me if this is true?

Two contexts exist for the MB equivalent of 1GB :
Specs published by hard disk manufacturers are based on
1000MB = 1 GB
(although Windows measures the disk capacity as base 2 or 1024MB = 1GB
... this is why a hard disk always appears to be smaller than advertised according to Windows)
When referring to memory (RAM) addressing it is always
1024MB = 1GB

No, 1024 MB equals one GB. Generally, every unit used in computer storage media size increases by 1000x the size of the last unit:
1024 Bytes = 1 KB
1024 KB = 1 MB
1024 MB = 1 GB
1024 GB = 1 TB (terabyte)
I usually just round it down to 1000 because it's easier to add up when choosing a media to save my data to.

No 100 mb is not equal to 1GB
1024mb=1GB
mb=Megabyte
gb=gigabyte

Theoretically 1000 mb equals 1 GB but is calculated by Windows (I believe) differently thus 1024 mb equals 1 GB. If I am wrong, please feel free to correct me

1024 Mb is the correct conversion but in fat32 the actual drivespace accesible is limited to 1018 Mb max.

No, 8192 mb (megabits) = 1 GB (gigabyte)
MB= megabyte
Mb = megabit
mb= oh, this would technically be a millibit which doesn't exist, so I'll just assume you meant Mb.
