Katherine, A very useful stat, that I've only seen anecdotally, and don't know a source for would be Capacity Utilization. i.e. - Of the Potentially available wafer starts per week, what % is actually being used. And if this could be broken down by Logic vs DRAM or even finer, I could become ecstatic. ;-) I recognize that getting this number accurately is probably fraught with all the problems of attempting to calculate ASPs. But I'd find it quite interesting, and perhaps, quite useful. Just in case you were taking requests, Ian.
