Guest Posted August 12, 2002 1000 bytes = 8000 bits. The 1024 has nothing to do with bytes. It has to do with the following: A bit is a 0 or a 1. A binary number has 2 as base. To express them in our normal base we put it on the form 2^n where n is an integer in the normal dec. system. Question: How many numbers can you express with 4 bits? Answer: 2^4 = 16 So when you say that you have 32 bit colors, it means that you have 2^32 colors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
