Trey,

Sure I do. As long as there are Pentiums out there below 200MHz there is no need to use SDRAM. I think Vanguard (Taiwan company) still makes 1Mbit DRAM. PCs aren't the only things that use RAM memory and not all of the other products need more than 4MB of RAM.
All of this news about the next generation RAM (RDRAM, SLDRAM, etc.) and the newest CPU relates only to those who go out and buy the top-of-line stuff. The majority of the market is still a generation or two behind. Here's an analogy;
A PC with 300MHz Pentium II, 128MB RDRAM = Acura NSX -L A PC with 133MHz Pentium, 16 MB EDO DRAM = Honda Civic
Ask Honda which car has the biggest market. Sure, we all "want" the NSX, but all we "need" is the Civic.
Now you made me go off subject, I'll probably get booted like GRIM did;)
