in thread memory use array vs ref to array

According to this article, Each array element consumes a minimum of 24 bytes. Your 4.5 Gigs of memory will accommodate a maximum of 185,834 elements.

Respectfully, I think you are out by a factor of 1000 (or 1024) here. Should it not be around 185 million elements?
