    I'm looking for a website or freeware tool that can calculate memory sizes ie. .5 gigs = ? megabytes. 4.25 Megabytes = ? bytes etc.

    Website/Program???

    Either you don't know this(below) or you are very lazy!

    Use a calculator.

    I K = 1024 Bytes
    I Meg = 1024 * 1024 Bytes
    1 Gig = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 Bytes


    .5 Gig = 536870912 = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 0.5

    4.25 Meg = 4456448 = 1024 * 1024 * 4.25

    I'm sure you get the idea.

    And hard disk manufacturers use base-10 references.

    HDD: 
    1Kb - 1000 bytes
1Mb - 1000 Kb
1Gb - 1000 Mb

    Save this as memory.html and open it in IE 
    <html>
<head>
	<title>Memory Convertor</title>
   
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function megToKilo()
{
   var firstNumber  = document.memoryForm.firstNumber.value;
   var result       = firstNumber * 1024;
   document.memoryForm.secondNumber.value = "" + result;   
}

function kiloToMeg()
{
   var firstNumber  = document.memoryForm.firstNumber.value;
   var result       = firstNumber / 1024;
   document.memoryForm.secondNumber.value = "" + result; 
}

//-->
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form name="memoryForm">
<input type="text" name="firstNumber"> -> <input type="text" name="secondNumber"><br />
<a href="#" onClick="megToKilo()">MegaBytes to KiloBytes</a><br />
<a href="#" onClick="kiloToMeg()">KiloBytes to MegaBytes</a><br />
<a href="#" onClick="megToKilo()">MegaBytes to GigaBytes</a><br />
</form>

</body>
</html>
