Ok. I have heard people say, : "I have 3.6 gigs!" and I have heard people say, : "I have 80 gigs!". Are they both refering to the hard drive? Just wondering because it seemed like a large difference.....


Thanks,

Hi MR0624,

Not entirely dumb, It can either refer to an old hard drive, when they were only that size ie 3.6 gb and a decent modern size of 80 gb, or the 3.6 gig could be refering to a nice fast 3.6 gig processor

Thanks....

GigaHertz is clipped to 'gig' aswel? Confusing!
So now I have Memory gigs, Storage gigs and gigacycles?

Whaaaa!

I'm waiting for the gigapixel displays

I think the storage 'gigs' will change to Teras soon enough.
Maybe that will lessen the confusion a bit (until processors
start running TeraHertz frequencies )

they have a 1 terabyte hard drive now but its mainly for servers

1 terabyte is very nice

To the original question...you can even correct them now telling them its pronounced ghz! not gig! haha gig is refered to a giabyte and ghz is the gigahertz not gig of a processer
