How does the scale go in reference to Mhz and Ghz? And MB to GB? From smallest to largest?

Question

My computer has 128 mb total system memory...Would that be considered small by today's standards? It has a 20 GB hard drive. And it's 700 MHZ, lol.

Answer 1

Yes, the amount of memory you have would be considered small by today's standards. So would your hard drive and processor.
It takes 1024 bytes to make a Kilobyte (KB), 1024 KB's to make a Megabyte (MB) and 1024 MB's to make a Gigabyte (GB). The same principle applies with the Megahertz - it takes 1024 Megahertz to make a Gigahertz.
You should really think about upgrading your system. Video memory would be something else to look at also.
Hope this helps...

Even with Windows 98SE, 128 MB was medium at best. 256 MB RAM is more optimal. But, Windows 98SE could only handle up to 512 MB of RAM.

Windows XP needs 512 MB RAM to run efficiently. More RAM would be better.

Windows 2000 can run with 128 MB of RAM, but more is better. As with Windows 98SE, it works better with 256 MB RAM.

Vista needs at least 1 GB DDR2 RAM to run efficiently. 2 GB is better, as is more.

Windows 98SE is great with 20 GB HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and mayhap Windows 2000. But, Windows XP or Vista needs MUCH, MUCH more than 20 GB HDD. For example: I have a 10 GB HDD and it contains only XP, MS OFFICE and a few other necessary Programs needed to run the PC. Yet, because of all the patches and updates for the MS products (including the OS, OFFICE, etc), the HDD is nearly full. I have a 40 GB and 80 GB in this computer to store Games, Music, Movies and other files and programs.

Your CPU is fine for all but Vista. Vista requires much more power to run efficiently. Vista is best run on a Dual-Core Processor, but will work well with a 64-bit systems. The ironic fact, few applications, games and programs make use of the 64-bit and Dual-Core CPU's.

Depending on the OS you are using depends on if you need to upgade your RAM and HDD. For Windows 98 SE, you only need to bump up the RAM. For XP, you need to bump up the RAM and HDD.

Also remember, Windows 98SE, ME and NT 4.x are no longer supported by MS. This means, no more patches, updates or other support.

Answer 3

yo dude this ant the 90's man like get a computer with mimume 512 instead of ur 128 then get at lest a 2.0 MHz instead of ur silly 0.7 and the 20gb hard drive ant bad but now ppl have around 200 myself i have a 768 MB memory 1.7 MHZ and a 180Gb hard drive but for around $2000 bucks u can probly get the best computer out there but just the tower and the stuff in it with out the new screen keybord mouse ect but yea save some cash and get a new one lol 128mb

Answer 4

A Bit is a 1 or a 0
1 Byte is 8 Bits
1 Kilobyte is 1024 Bytes
1 Megabyte is 1024 Kilobytes
1 Gigabyte is 1024 Megabytes


Anyway. About 4Ghz is max processor speed now, 1GB Memory is standard, and about 170GB Hard Drive is about standard.

Answer 5

MHz < GHz
MB < GB

128 MB is tiny, you should upgrade to at least 512 MB, or ideally 2 GB if your motherboard will support that much memory.

Answer 6

Computer speed depend On ram Or processor ghz

Answer 7

8 bits= 1byte x 1000=(1024bytes)or 1 KB
1KB x1000 = (1024KB) or1MB
1MB x 1000=(1024 MB)or 1Gigabyte
1GB x 1000 =(1024 GB) or 1TB (Terrabyte)


1000Hertz = 1Kilohertz x 1000= 1megahertz x1000 =1GHz

Answer 8

yea its a dinosaur. I just ordered a new MB and processor for about $300 and it takes me to a 2.6 gHz dual core and a new AMD 690G main board...

Answer 9

1024MB=1GB.
128 MB total system memory dude you should at least get 512MB for today's standards..

Answer 10

128MB is the amount of RAM that you have. Yes that is low by todays standards. 512Mb or 1GB (1000Mb) would be standard today.

20GB is your hard drive space (storage). Again this is pretty low by todays standards.

700Mhz is your processor (brain) speed. again this is very low by todays standards. 2ghz plus is the norm (1000mhz = 1ghz).
