#126585 - 'k' vs 'K'
Responding to: ???'s previous message

No - that's wrong!

64k (small 'k') = 64 x 103 = 64000 = 0xFA00;

64K (big 'K') = 64 x 210 = 64x1024 = 65536 = 0x10000.

It's easy to remember: big 'K' is greater than little 'k'

Also remember: digital computers (including 8051s) like everything in powers of two (think: binary).
