OK So Im Computer Stupid

I Need to know what the difference is between 20 GB and 512 MB....which is bigger?
I ask because my son wants an X BOX for Christmas and it says it comes with a 20 GB hard drive. If that is big enough to support his games, without me having to go out and buy a seperate memory card, then I'm all for saving cash.

Re: OK So Im Computer Stupid

GB should be the bigger one and also get the ones with the hard drives... they are nice =D

The more "expensive one" should be the bigger hard drive hehe

Looking it up now to make sure I do not tell you wrong

Someone said on website:

1024 MB = 1 GB
2048 MB = 2 GB
so on and so forwarth

Re: OK So Im Computer Stupid

No problem! But I am happy to have Adam confirm it... I am never sure neither I usually get it backwards...

And yeah they are expensive but atleast when times change you can still play the system... as for PC games... they eventally can not be played because your computer has changed SO much! =/ there is so many PC games I miss playing...

And Yay I was right! that doesn't happen too often... I better look out for tommrow... something horrible might happen

Re: OK So Im Computer Stupid

Does the Xbox use memory cards to store save game points, or does it just use the hard drive?

I want a Commodore 64 ^_^

Prehaps to old though >_< I want something that will run Windows 95 still that was my favorite Windows program... I prefer Macs though... going to flip if and when Gorefang dies on me

As for the XBox 360 save points.... the hard drive and the memory cards can do both. The hard drive in the far superior option because you need the hard drive if you want too download from Xbox live and if you want to beable to download and install the patch to play "certain" old Xbox games you will need to hard drive the only thing the memory cards are good for is to take saved data over to a friends house. There is more stuff about the hard drive but Voradan just listed that for me to type ^_^

Pile says if you want to know more about the Hard Drive just send him a tell to "Zekky" here on UO:F... he is not much of a forums person as I am so he isn't on much but he checks his mail all the time and there is always a e-mail forward to his e-mail box to let you know that there is a message here ( I hope that was coherrent )
