1 giga hertz is exactly 1024. Conversion isn't 1 : 1.

Actually it's 1024MHz = 1.024GHz... but trust me 24MHz is such a small difference that it really doesn't matter.

Edit:

Just so everyone knows:
1,000 = 1 Kilo
1,000 Kilo = 1 Mega
1,000 Mega = 1 Giga

However, when measuring bits, it's very common to change it to 1024. This is because 2^10 = 1024, 2^20 = 1048576 (which is 1024*1024) and so on. It's a very convenient number for base two numbers (binary)

It's also more "technically" correct that giga/mega/etc used in this way to be called "gibi/mebi/etc".

Now when measuring Hz and such, giga really does mean 1000 mega because it is NOT bits and bytes.

Also, in addition to my previous post, I need to add that it further gets more complicated when we talk about data transmission:
Binary prefix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Data transmission is measured such that 1000 mega = 1 giga, even though we're talking about bits. Hence why it's usually preferable to say gibi/mebi/etc when you mean 1024 mebi = 1 gibi

Nothing complicated about it. You are talking storage, we are talking processer speed. Not deci vs binary (that is why 80 gigs aren't actually 80 gigs) I recall something about this applying to processors as well I think. Oh well, if I had time I would wiki it:) night all

Well, please check out my previous post, and I recommend you click the link I posted in the message you quoted. The same section describing transmission also talks about 1000 MHz = 1 GHz.
 
Knock it off kids, OP just had a typo, not the point. His software shows his processor has more than a billion cycles, that is more than 1ghz, even if only by 240 mhz.
