Mike, re this post

One possible interpretation is that Samsung et al are hanging
tough because at the margin high 16 mB prices would tend to accelerate
"design in" decisions to use 64 mB. In other words, high 16 mB prices
now shift some demand to 64, helping those producing 64s drive their
costs down faster.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on manipulation of 16 prices to accelerate
the 64 transition. (regardless of effects on overall box demand)

Thanks in Advance
