The first replace_bytes line is just to set up this code to do the multiplication.)
(Edit: And if you are wondering why multiply by 1024 instead of 1000? 4 bytes is not enough space to load a multiplicand and load a multiplier and perform a normal multiplication. But there is a trick for multiplying by powers of 2 using a logical-shift-left instruction that doesn't require loading the multiplier. 1024 = 2 to the 10th power.)

Thank you for the explanation, I was curious too.
