richard,
i saw that. we discussed it here briefly. samsung stated in the past few days that they have the production capacity to fill the entire worldwide rdram demand for 1999.
the projections we have seen call for samsung's rdram production to step up from 500,000 per month to 5,000,000 per month starting tuesday. that will certainly provide us with sufficient volume for the september rollout.
have you ever seen a rmbs article by magee or the register that wasn't slanted negatively?
i've spent some time on the ibm site today. a few pleasant surprises.
with the exception of a coupla amd based aptiva models , the rest of of ibm's pc's including the other aptiva models, all of their s-model pc's, most thinkpads including the top models, their business pc's both models 300pl and 300gs and their small business pc the 300gl, and the business thinkpads and ultrathin thinkpads are intel based. they all say intel inside.
intel has said they will only support rdram and not support pc133. amd has said they are going to rambus. i don't see any way for ibm not to use rambus. maybe ibm won't produce rdrams. i don't recall them ever saying they would(as milehigh pointed out). but, as stuart said, that doesn't mean they won't use rdrams in ibm pc's.
many memory mfrs do not make pc's. and, most pc mfrs do not make memory. they can be mutually exclusive.
could this be ibm's little shot at intel for threatening to go into the pc business?
don't recall ever having them, but with four aces i'd keep raising!
