131kb RAM in TI -84+SE?!

(1/1)

CalcMax:
Would someone mind telling me why TI Connect CE claims that my Ti-84+SE has 131kb RAM? Shouldn't it be 128kb?

harold:
128kb = 128*1024 = 131072 bytes, so they're just using the decimal SI prefixes.

CalcMax:
Aaaahh.... So TI doesn't know to use binary?! Or are they doing this to confuse users?

JosJuice:
Wait, so TI is actually admitting that TI-84+SEs have more than 24 KiB of RAM? I thought they never would do that  O.O

Nope, they are just using the International System of Units (SI) version of the Kilobyte which states that since kilo used as a prefix means 1000 (103), a Kilobyte is 1000 bytes. Basically they are using the internationally accepted Metric measurement.

They just say that it's got 24KB of available RAM. (Notice the KB not the KiB)
