Apr 17, 2019 at 19:28 comment added Bailey Parker @IsmaelMiguel Yeah it will. This is a good point to call out. I'll append it to the discussion about the GB math.
Apr 17, 2019 at 19:28 comment added Bailey Parker @vurp0 Sure, strictly speaking that's right. However, the "ibi" is often dropped (unfortunately) in common parlance. And as I mention, the only place where I've seen GB not mean GiB was in the context of hard drive storage (it's cheaper for manufacturers because 1 GB < 1 GiB, so they exploit this ambiguity).
Apr 17, 2019 at 9:28 comment added Ismael Miguel Won't this cause issues for GPUs with less than 1GB of vram? (For example, integrated GPUs can have anywhere between 8MB and 2GB. VirtualBox limits the maximum GPU memory to 128MB)
Apr 17, 2019 at 1:16 comment added vurp0 Strictly speaking, one GB is 1000 MB and one MB is 1000 KB, but one GiB is 1024 MiB and one MiB is 1024 KiB. Going by the standards as defined by the IEC, that is.
