Re: SEV question
Well, I was talking about the actual organization of all those transistors. 
Although I was shown the circuitry for a memory bit once. Don't remember it, though.

Things just got more complex from there. Because bits have 2 possible values, things just double in size as they progress. This is why if you look at the amount of actual bytes in a memory stick is never exactly what they advertise. If you measure things in binary terms, a kilobit is actually 1024 bits (2^10).

Re: SEV question
...It doesn't explain Kilobits.

Re: SEV question
Why would it need to? A kilobit is just 1/(byte size)th of a kilobyte. The same nomenclature and arithmetic apply to bits and bytes.

Re: SEV question
...Because it said it would? 'Kbyte vs. kbit'?
