drdrams are not available in volume at full speed. There is always an early adopter period. Many people hold off any new product for a couple of months to see what the early buyers have to say. Even a 600Mhz part when coupled with 4X AGP video and high performance disk drives will make an impressive package. By the time word gets around there will be a greater supply of faster Rambus. TP

kz, samsung is up to around 90% 800. said should be at 100% soon. there is a market for 600 just not for pc. i.e., toshiba is selling all of their 600 parts to sony for PII. the threads concentrate on pc's. pc's and servers are only 50% of rambus' forecasted revenues. lots of other uses for rdram. unclewest

Samsung Elec mass producing Rambus DRAMs SEOUL, Aug 27 (Reuters) - The world's top memory chip maker Samsung Electronics Co said on Friday it planned to begin mass producing Rambus dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips from the fourth quarter of this year to meet growing demand. A Samsung spokeswoman said the company, flagship unit of South Korea's Samsung Group [SAGR.CN], planned to raise monthly output of 128 and 144-megabit Rambus DRAM chips to around 1.5 million from 100,000 at present. She said the mass production would begin sometime between October and December, but declined to give a specific timeframe. The chips, also called the Direct Rambus DRAMs, adopt a high-speed memory technology format that Rambus Inc (Nasdaq:RMBS - news) developed and licensed to major computer memory chip makers. Samsung Electronics is the world's largest DRAM maker and also makes consumer electronics goods and telecommunications equipment.
