Yes, if we turn that over to the Giga reference. Then Kilo as 1024 in hex, is just as wrong as 1000 is. Since a thousand, in hex would be 16 in the power of 3. Or, 1000(hex), which is 4096 in decimal. And a thousand in binary, would be 2 in the power of 3, which is 8 in decimal. Which is why I used the phrase "convention", since that's what 1024 really is ... a convention, not mathematically correct. Cheers.
