What value do these people add? They show everyone that you can be dull-witted and and slow and still make a fortune in your career. Heck, there is hope even for me:-) I am just glad I am not supporting their multi-million dollar salaries. BK

[World DRAM Price] Prices of 64Mb DRAMs for Large Users Continue to Fall February 16, 2000 (TOKYO) -- The prices of 64Mb DRAMs for large users continued to fall in three key markets tracked by ICIS-LOR. PC manufacturers are suppressing production due to CPU shortages, resulting in increases of DRAM inventory. A worldwide DRAM price survey conducted by ICIS-LOR, based in London, Houston and Singapore, showed that the 30-day (Dec. 30, 1999 - Jan. 28, 2000) rolling average prices of 64Mb DRAMs (PC100, 8M x 8) for large users registered a 2.99 percent decrease to US$9.33 in North America, a 1.98 percent decrease to US$9.67 in Europe and a 4.71 percent decrease to US$10.05 in Asia, from the week earlier. As for prices of memory modules, the spot price for 64MB dual inline memory modules (DIMMs, PC100) fell 2.38 percent from the previous week to US$63.29 in North America, 2.48 percent to US$65.08 in Europe and 2.73 percent to US$62.74 in Asia. Currently, DRAMs are in oversupply. However, DRAM manufacturers predict that DRAMs will be in short supply throughout the year, and they are optimistic demand will be strong after April. The CPU supply, too, is expected to recover later in March. Therefore, DRAM prices may keep declining until mid March due to inventory release by manufacturers, but will start to go up afterwards. nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com
