Tony, I submit, for your inspection, the table I took that data from. There are prices here, and I suspect that the calculation of the percentages may be dependent on the stock price. From the opening line on the SOX Homepage: The Semiconductor Sector is a price-weighted index composed of 16 U.S. companies that are primarily involved in the design, distribution, manufacture, and sale of semiconductors. Let me know what you think. phlx.com <--- Need Adobe Acrobat to view! phlx.com <--- The SOX Homepage Steve

Spot Price of 64Mb DRAMs Hits Two-Year High, Tops US$15 September 14, 1999 (SEOUL) -- Amid the upbeat mood in prices of 64Mb DRAMs (PC100, 8M x 8), there are signs of a shake-up in Korea's chip assembly firms, market watchers said. Prices of 64Mb memory chips topped US$15 per unit on Sept. 10 in the U.S. spot market, marking a two-year high. It took just two days for the prices to rise by US$1.76. "Prices are climbing drastically," said a domestic chip researcher. "If the upward trend continues, it will impact PC prices as well." The rise in 64Mb chip prices led to an increase in 128Mb DRAMs. Among 128Mb memory chips, 16Mb PC-100 products rose US$7 to US$23.51-$25.43 a piece on Sept. 10 from the US$16 range.
