BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2000--Microsoft® Corporation (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) and Micron Technology, Inc., (NYSE:MU - news) today announced the signing of a six-year strategic supply agreement in which Micron will supply a majority of the DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM used in Microsoft's Xbox future generation video game console. The 64 Megabytes of system memory for the Xbox will be comprised of 200MHz 2 Meg X 32 DDR SDRAMs with a peak data rate of 400 Megabits per second per pin, delivering an incredible 6.4GB per second of bandwidth to the Xbox platform.

``Working with Micron to pack this amount of memory into Xbox will liberate game developers to produce more exhilarating, imaginative, and immersive gameplay for gamers,'' said Robbie Bach, Microsoft's Chief Xbox Officer (CXO). ``Adding Micron to our impressive list of technology partners once again ensures that we are leveraging the most advanced technology from a company with a history of producing high-volume components on time. We are looking forward to having Micron play a key role in the introduction of the Xbox.''
