Here is the problem with your answer of 1.4: We do not have enough information. Is it RAM you are speaking of or is it your File Storage Space (Hard Disk Drive)? The difference is HDD manufacturers base their storage space on 1,000 Mb's 1 Gb, where-as Windows Operating System's read it on a 1,024 Mb 1 Gb. This gives us the false impression that we are buying a 80 Gb HDD when we are buying a 78.125 Gb HDD in terms of how the OS perceives the file size. So, if you were speaking about RAM, and NOT File Storage Space, the correct answer would be 1.3 (technically 1.37).With that said, the ONLY time someone refers to 1,000 Mb's being 1 Gb is when they are speaking in terms of how the Hard Drive manufacturer's define a Giga Byte, which is still technically wrong. This is why:Windows File: 1 Gb 1024 MbHDD Manufacturer: 1 Gb 1000 MbSo, if you go buy a storage device that is rated by the manufacturer as being 8 Gb's and want to put an 8 Gb game, video, or other on it, you will be short by 192 Mb's, which could cause a fatal error during the copy process and render it useless.
