-- =DJ Micron Tech Is Upbeat About Long-Term DRAM Prices >MU -- By Mark Boslet SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones)--Micron Technology Inc. (MU) expects prices for DRAM memory chips to stabilize or show "some upward pressure" over the long term, despite slipping recently, said Kipp Bedard, vice president of corporate affairs. The memory maker is optimistic about the pricing environment, Bedard said at the Banc of America Securities technology conference here. In the short term, however, seasonal slowing in computer demand from the fourth quarter has coupled with shortages of certain microprocessors and the sale of some excess products in Asia to pressure prices, he said. Separately, Micron expects to increase the amount of flash memory it produces, said David Parker, manager of investor relations. At present, about 5% to 6% of wafers go to make flash. During this year, flash and SRAM memory products will make up about 10% of Micron's wafer production "starts," he said. Also this year, PC133 will be the dominant form of memory in the personal computer market, Parker said. Rambus Inc.'s (RMBS) RDRAM memory will have between 5% and 10% of the market, he said. -Mark Boslet; Dow Jones Newswires; 650-496-1366 (END) DOW JONES NEWS 02-01-00 07:06 PM- - 07 06 PM EST 02-01-00 Symbols: US;MU US;RMBS US;MUZ Source DJ - Dow Jones Categories: I/SEM SUB/DJN N/DJN SUB/DJWI N/DJWI SUB/DJS N/DJS SUB/HIY N/HIY SUB/LAT N/LAT SUB/WEI N/WEI M/NND M/TEC P/DCO P/DSE GEO/CAL R/CAL GEO/IDA R/IDA GEO/NME R/NME GEO/PRM R/PRM GEO/US R/US GEO/USW R/USW
