Week in review: Hardware heartaches By Aimee Male Staff Writer, CNET News.com September 24, 1999, 3:30 p.m. PT Hardware problems for some of the industry's heaviest hitters shook the stock market this week and left lingering questions about firms' financial futures. As first reported by CNET News.com, Intel acknowledged a major problem involving Rambus memory technology that could delay for months computers that were scheduled to debut next week. The news, combined with a negative investment banker report, contributed to an 18 percent plunge in Rambus's stock. The problem could force PC makers to throw away critical parts of new high-end computers or face the prospect of shipping potentially faulty machines. Although it is too early to determine the extent of the damage, one analyst estimated that hundreds of thousands of computers are affected. yahoo.cnet.com
