No. You get paper, a pen or pencil, and that's it. There's no need to go to binary first. Just do this: remember the first four powers of 16. 16^0 = 1, 16^1 = 16, 16^2 = 256 and 16^3 = 4096.
THen when you see a hex number, simply multiply the Decimal value of the hex digit times the respective power of 16 and add. i.e. 0x0F00 (from above) = 0*4096 + 15*256 + 0*16 + 0*1 = 3840. (actually, I would look at 0x0F00 as 0x1000 - 0x0100 which is just 4096-256 = 3840).. heh =) Mike W.
