Well, every computer I have that has 1 MB or more or RAM.  Which is a total
of Hmm.. 4.  All my others only have 640k.  two are IBM's, one's a toshiba,
and the other's my P200.

 Every computer that I've ever owned, When it does a memory test of "1
 megabyte", the listing is always

 1024KB......OK. 
I can't work out if you're agreeing with me or not.

However, 1024KB _is_ 1 Megabyte. It's 1024 * 1024 (=1048576) bytes.
Unless 'every computer that you've ever owned' defines 1KB as 1000 bytes
(hint : none of mine do that).
