Ok this is a poll to determine how many people pronounce the word "Gigabyte" as gigabyte or jigabyte? The question still remains, why dont the people who use the "J" sound call it jijabyte! I personally use Gigabyte! The discussion can be found HERE! GIGABYTE Co. Replied to my email to help us out here: Dear Saeid, Thank you for supporting GIGABYTE products and contacting GBT Tech Support. As to the problem you mentioned, the way we pronounce our brand is "G"igabyte as "G" sound, not "J" sound. Your pronunciation is correct. Thank you for your supporting.

"Google", and "Giggle", and 'Gag', and 'Grog' have two G's in their word that sounds like a 'G', and so does Gigabyte. Nuf Sed. Funny enough, The name "George" has two J sounding G's, so really this name should be spelt "Jourje" - but this name was introduced by Greece I think, so thats why its as it is.
waht t3h fock t3h noobs need 2 lurn how to bee talkingg nessseszsz I didnt' know you could even say 'jigabyte'. Shoot whoever did.
LOL... well there was debate about how Gin is spelled with a G but pronounced with a J. That was the excuse of the people who pronounced it Jigabyte! But anyways i also find it interesting that no one has voted for jigabyte... hehehe seeing how there were afew supporters of Jigabyte in the other post!
I voted Jigabyte because i'm a lameass with ltos of time on my hands and have nothing to do, but do socially unacceptable things
LOL... i suggest someone here writes a letter to the company "Gigabyte" and asks them how they pronounce GIGABYTE... You know i'm gonna contact them and get back to u!
The pronouncation in "back to the future" is correct for 10^9, or jiga- However when talking about computers or techspeak its giga- Why? Because in computer terms it does not refer to 10^9 but 2^30 or 1,073,741,824 So really it is fine to pronouce it either way.
