Imran First... 1 MB equals 8 Mb. A 256 Mb chip is 32 MB..... I'm a MU bear, and about to increase my position. It isn't exactly brain surgery to see that the next few quarters are toast. The last two were held together by lady luck! The inventory hold back is going to work the other way(against) MU now. You said... >>The biggest memory eaters are games, nothing else even comes close. There is no game CURRENTLY on the market which requires more than 16mb on a windows environment. Take a game like Tomb Raider. 8mb is the minimum requirement, 16mb is recommended. However 32mb will give you better gameplay but more than that doesn't really make a difference in game performance. Looking at E3 gives you an idea on the next generation of games and whereas hard drive requirements are going up, memory requiremnts are staying the same i.e. 16mb. These are the games coming out NEXT YEAR. My guess is that even by the end of 1999 memory requirements won't go beyond 32mb for even top of the line software. If MU does produce 256mb, how many people would buy all that memory when more than 64mb just isn't required?<< Home PCs aren't the only use for memory. Servers, and buissness PCs have use for that much memory. If a good 256Mb chip comes into production beleive me PC makers will make it usable. Question for MU stock right now in my mind is simply what advantage do they have in future generations?? If none.... they are in deep deep kimshee!! Mark
