this isn't a matter of opinion. it's pronounced GIG A BYTE, not "jegabyte", "gegabyte" or whatever. giga's not the only prefix used when it comes to measurements in bytes. it's also used for other measurements when dealing with extremely large quantities. you don't pronounce it "jegahurtz" or "jegaflops" do you? dear god i hope not because you'd sound completely ridiculous if you did.

BTW, The English alphabitisme pronounce G as J:

G >>> JEE

J >>> JEY

Am I right?  ;)

Phonetics are a tad different.

Anyway, if you look here you will see it can be pronounced either way. (If you change the "e'"s to "i'"s of course...) In fact, it states the "jig-" way first.

I pronounce it gig-a-byte

:rofl:

My physics professor always fussed about how everyone pronounced, and even gave an entire lecture on GHz and GB. He said the correct pronunaction (I can't spell) is Giggahertz and Giggabyte. Like "getting jiggy with it"

So Jiggahertz?

:laugh:

I've never heard anyone say anything but Gigabyte.
