For larger memory sizes a decimal value may be more convenient

Hm. Is that a good idea, given that those numbers are not really in the decimal system, but binary. I.e. a gigabyte is 1024x1024x1024 kb (or some such), not 1000x1000x1000.

Wouldn't that be more confusing than convenient?

I think you're right where users are debugging. The difference in this case is about 7%. I'll close and we can reopen if needed.
