Best Answer

There are two types of memory in a computer - volatile and non-volatile. Volatile memory is the Random Access Memory (RAM) which is lost after the power is cut. The non-volatile memory is the hard drive which permanently writes information (binary code) to metal platers using magnet charges. After the computer is powered off, the magnetic charges do not change.

Simply it is down to mathematical powers of 2. Computer memory is based on the binary system, which is a base 2 number system. If you keep doubling 2 you get the following numbers. 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 1024. All of these numbers occur regularly in computers, as do numbers after those if you keep doubling up. For example there are 8 bits in a byte; there was a computer called the Commodore 64; you hear about 256MB of RAM. There are many other examples.
