Another poorly thoguht out and wrong question.
As mentioned, 1000^8 <> 1024^8. 1Yb (Yottabyte) is not the same a 1Yib (Yobibyte, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte). In fact, even the article referenced http://en.linuxreviews.org/Yottabyte points...

Actually, I thought it was poorly worded in a different way.
To me, the phrase "Only SQL Server 2000 SP3 or later" implies that SQL Server 2000 SP4 is included. So...
