pomp: The volume on Island ECN is amazing. Ever since we hit 290 earlier, the sell side lots are lighting up like a Christmas tree. Just in the last 5 minutes the buy side is getting action. We should know if we go above 300 if the shorts or longs are winning. I have to believe Stuart at his word that the marginable shares will be reduced by 1M by Thurs. I guess we have to put up with those 1M shares and some additional several million more being shorted against us until then. Have you seen any reason to sell RMBS for any fundenmental reason besides that we are midst of massive short selling. john

EETimes March 20, 2000, Issue: 1105 Section: Product Week -- Subsystems -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clock generator handles synchronization for Rambus DALLAS -Texas Instruments Inc. said that with help from Rambus Inc., it has developed a clock generator device that is able to support high-speed video cards and other graphics applications, including Direct Rambus systems like Sony Computer Entertainment's Playstation 2. Harry Davoody, vice president and semiconductor group manager at TI, noted that three-dimensional games and multimedia applications require higher memory bandwidth than has traditionally been available in small computer systems. TI's new CDCR61 provides the precise high-frequency clock synchronization needed to make the Direct Rambus interface work, he said. The device is said to leverage TI's low-jitter, analog-scalable phase-locked loop technology for frequency multiplication and uses a precision differential 400-MHz output buffer to provide the signal for the Rambus channel. The device supports Direct Rambus operation at 300 and 400 MHz. It operates from two power supplies, one at 3.3 volts and the other at 1.8 V. One differential output provides the clock, and a single-ended output supplies half of the crystal frequency. Offered in a 16-pin thin shrink small-outline package, it is priced at $2.50 in quantities of 10,000. Call (800) 477-8924, ext. 4500
