steve - <P3 yes, no Rambus, no 820 chipset, no AMD.> The article Ali posted cites some of the risks of this strategy, particularly for Micron's big business customers: For small businesses, the VIA Technologies chip set is a viable alternative to Intel's, Reynolds says. But larger companies that want a standard configuration for their PCs risk getting stuck with chip sets that can't keep pace with growing chip speeds. "Memory is always one step ahead of processors," Reynolds says. Intel says will release the 820 chip set later this month, and promises substantial performance gains over time. It'll be curious to see how Micron does with this strategy. PB
