<<.... is there enough margin in the increased yield of 0.25 micron to support major investments in new equipment at this point?>>

Everything depends on the yield of the .25um 256MB DRAM wafers. If the company can achieve similar yield as the 64MB DRAM then they have dropped the cost of manufacturing by 1/4. Then everything penny spent on the .25um stuff is justified. The company that is gutsy enough to mass produce the 256MB and successful will goble the DRAM market. This is an interesting time to gamble on it because the Koreans are contemplating about future expansions. Furthermore you got to be prepared for Windows 98!
