TOKYO--Toshiba and NEC plan to increase the number of high-speed computer memory chips they produce to meet an expected rise in demand, Tokyo's Nikkei English News said, citing unidentified industry sources.

Toshiba is to raise production of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) based on Rambus designs to 8 million a month from 2.3 million in September, NEN said. The Rambus chips, which can transfer data at twice the speed of standard DRAM, is to comprise 60 percent of Toshiba's total production, NEN said.

NEC is to increase monthly production to 5 million chips from 2 million in September, NEN said.

Both companies plan to cut production of lower-grade chips due to lower demand. Demand for the faster chips is expected to grow as Intel looks for chips for its Pentium 4 processor.
