Jeff, Your right I did harp on the nomenclature, but I'm an engineer I can't help it, I'm anal. (Grim, so help me if you comment I'll have to slap you!) The fabrication costs will be the same for for "x"DRAM. The 256Mbit DRAMs and soon 1Gbit DRAMs are just process monitors. "Can we fabricate 256 million memory cells on one die?" By using a simple DRAM interface they can concentrate on the process problems and not on the interface design problems. But! (and it's a big but, Grim...) The interface design does add cost when it comes to testing these chips. Ask the manufacturers what it will cost them to meet the PC100 spec. All new testers at $1mil apiece is going to hamper their overall production costs and THAT is where the Koreans will feel the pain. Meg
