Tom Warren, re:<<So apples to apples Samsung annual production would be roughly 50 mill 64Mb equivalents out of 1 bill. 5% give or take.>>
The problem with hypothesizing numbers is we can make them anything we like. <g>
I assumed an average 8 DRAMS per PC whether 32 or 64mB. (Probably a low assumption). But next year we'll see a shift to 64/128mB Drams. Can't speculate the mix, but Win2K could drive it towards the higher densities. And when you speak of "equivalent" share you're implying share of revenues, not unit quantity. I think to get 5% share of units price will have to come down significantly. JMHO's
