Don't know about the actual problem, but MiB stands for MibiBytes, where
Mibi is the proper way to say 'powers of 1024' (Mi == 1024*1024), in
contrast to the M of Mega, which is a power of 1000 (M == 1000*1000).

Normally an oridnary Mega is used to denote 1024^2, but since we do not
want to contradict the Systeme Internationale, Mibi is introduced (along
with kiB, kibibytes).

Cheers,
Sebastiaan

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a
  *real* 32-bit system.
