[RAM] Incorrect unit about astern HOT 7 CLOSED

Interesting result, it seems HWinfo provides sensor data in MB and HWinfo was not tested.
I can fix it so that it gets converted to GB.

As for the MB / GB, I chose GBs as a compromise as it offers better legibility for on small screens.

Could you provide some extra context regarding why MB would be better?

I don't know, I've always been comfortable reading my RAM in MB, I find it's more accurate even if at my level I don't need so much precision. Maybe someone who only has 4 GB of RAM (yes it still exists ^^) or someone for who it' s important to see it in MB (not me in my gaming context, but I think someone might be interested one day).
In a more global way, why not offer the possibility to customize these elements in a separate configuration file?
<param key="ram.unit" value="MB" default="GB" />

I see.
I think the best solution right now would be to use the unit value returned by the sensor.
Libre Hardware and Open Hardware would return GB and show GB on the Display
HWiNFO would show MB.
I think this is easiest for the average end user rather than providing config files. :)

It's up to you, but if you keep it in MB, the 4-digit display takes up too much place in the RAM space. You should probably test the returned unit and adjust the space taken.

I will split this request into 2 parts.
1 will be the bugfix for the values being returned as MB
I will also open a feature request to consider allowing values between GB and MB 👍

Issue fixed in #6

Thank you for the fix, but please note that to convert MB to GB you must divide by 1024 and not 1000

Indeed.
It seems I got confused about megabytes vs mebibytes.
That 1GB = 1000MB but not when applied to RAM units.
I will fix it in a later update for other fixes that I have planned.

Closing this for now, thanks for the help and suggestions
