Yes.
Edit: Wow... 2 thumbs up for the wrong answer.
You want to look at numbers? Fine...
Kilo means 1,000, but since computers work on the binary number system it is actually 1024 bytes in a kilobyte.
Because computers do not magically get to start using base 10, we're still in the binary number system. So 1024 kilobytes is a megabyte.
At this point there is no magic. We still use the binary number system. So now 1024 megabytes is a gigabyte.
1024 gigabytes is a terabyte.
1024 terabytes is a petabyte.
Just because some guy knows the metric system does not mean computers magically get to work on a base 10 system. They work on binary bits. A bit is a 1 or a 0 (meaning on or off). No matter how hard you try, moving the decimal place does not allow for the binary number system to work, meaning it does not apply to computers.
The only place base 10 does not apply is when using the new IEC standard... But you can not buy 2 gigabytes of IEC standard RAM. It would be 2 Gibibytes, the first B meaning binary... Which is great for scholars, but has very little (if any) application in the industry. It's for people that can't understand binary.

Yep... the progression in Mega bytes is:
4; 8; 16; 32; 64; 128; 256; 512; 1024; 2048
All you have to do is to put in the decimal place for GB's.
2048 is in Kilo Bytes so 2.048 is the GB number.
Hope this helps.
