Adopting Cautious Outlook on Rambus Ramp; Moving to Market Perform

Rambus reported an in-line quarter, but guided down estimates for
the remainder of the calendar year. We are adopting a cautious
outlook on the RDRAM ramp, with major royalty growth forecasted
for the second half of FY2000. Key uncertainties exist surrounding
the ability of vendors to solve short-term RDRAM yield issues and
the growing industry support for a PC133 SDRAM cycle. We believe
that visbility on these issues will improve as we move into mid-year.
Until then, we believe short-term upside will be limited, and
we move our rating to Market Perform.
