Mylex bought for "RAID" storage who also was a PC motherboard mfg. ===== "IBM will purchase Mylex as it continues to beef up its storage business and adds to the arsenal in its increasingly important Technology Group. Big Blue has agreed to pay $240 million for Fremont, California-based Mylex, developer of technology for storage systems. Mylex's technology is used in data storage systems in desktop computer and networked environments. " news.com ==== Could Mylex open a market for IBM's new PC133 (1 Gig) memory boards or are they really PC266s that AAPL is rumored to be testing ? : ==== " Apple Computer Inc. could be among the first PC makers to use double-data-rate PC266 SDRAMs in a desktop. Sources said the computer maker is working out the part's clock-timing issues in order to use DDR as main memory. DDR is expected to debut late this year or early in 2000 in PC servers as well as dedicated graphics chipset frame-buffer memory. However, the PC266 memory was expected to transition slightly later into mainstream PC desktops " ebnews.com (Credit D_Mann, RB Thread) ===== PC266s are a speculation now but it makes you wonder how much INTC will be inside IBM's NetFinity PCs Jim K.
