Articles that need...

(to be honest I have no idea to format this) But in the article, it says 3DS cartridges can hold "up to 8 GB" whereas the sidebar says "1-8 GiB." Which is the correct one? I think it can be misleading to those who dont look at the smaller details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.215.43 (talk) 00:56, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"GiB" is "gibibytes", a pedant's way of specifying GB as 2^30 instead of 10^9 bytes. As memory chips, the first form is correct. The difference is really irrelevant, and hasn't taken off outside the world of abbreviation pedants, which is why you've never heard of it. For style and simplicity I'd stick to GB, which was good enough between the invention of computers and about 5 years ago.

I wouldn't say that the difference is irrelevant if a lawsuit was brought up over it. In fact, the reason I found myself on this talk page is for the very reason of that acronym's ambiguity.
