Company Press Release Micron Technology, Inc., Announces Samples of 150MHz and 166MHz 2 Meg X 32 DDR SDRAMs Micron broadens specialty DRAM offering for graphics and telecom applications BOISE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2000-- Micron Technology (NYSE:MU - news) today announced samples of its 150MHz and 166MHz 2 Meg x 32 double data rate (DDR) synchronous DRAMs (SDRAMs). These new specialty DDR SDRAMs are ideally suited for high-bandwidth applications that require increased performance, functioning at double the data rate of SDRAM solutions. Manufactured on Micron's advanced 0.18 micron process technology, these devices are one of the most cost-effective component solutions available for high-end graphics, networking and telecommunications customers. ``The 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAM enables us to maintain our leadership role in providing cost-effective solutions for our graphics and telecom customers,' said Gary Welch, Marketing Manager for Specialty Memories at Micron Technology. ``It is Micron's goal to become the supplier of choice for graphics and telecom customers. Toward this end, we continue to expand our offering of specialty DRAMs to provide our customers with multiple solutions from a single source.' Micron's specialty DRAM product offering now includes 150MHz and 166MHz 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAMs, 143MHz and 166MHz 2 Meg x 32 SDRAMs, and 143MHz and 166MHz 1 Meg x 16 SDRAMs. The 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAM will be available in 183MHz and 200MHz speed grades in the third quarter of 2000. ``Providing our graphics and telecom customers with these ever faster parts provides them with a smooth upgrade path,' stated Welch. ``We expect demand for the 1 Meg x 16 SDRAM and 2 Meg x 32 SDRAM to remain strong through 2000, with demand shifting to the DDR devices in the second half. As always, our goal is to match our product offering with our customers changing needs.' Offered in a standard 100-pin TQFP packages, samples of 150MHz 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAMs (MT46V2M32LG-65) and 166MHz 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAMs (MT46V2M32LG-6) are now available in sample quantities. Pricing will be comparable to 2 Meg x 32 SDRAMs. Both parts are expected to be available in production volumes in the second calendar quarter of 2000, and 4 Meg x 16 DDR SDRAM devices will be available in the third calendar quarter. For more information, or to order samples, contact Micron Technology's Marketing Department at 208/368-3900. Data sheets for 2 Meg x 32 DDR SDRAMs are available on Micron's website at micron.com Micron Technology, Inc., and its subsidiaries manufacture and market DRAMs, very fast SRAMs, Flash, other semiconductor components, memory modules, graphics accelerators and personal computer systems. Micron's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol MU. To learn more about Micron Technology, Inc., visit its web site at www.micron.com. biz.yahoo.com

Orion: If important news (including Communications wins) then will likely see it reaching the 360-400 range I think that most investors have no idea what RMBS does and communication wins announcements will do us no good unless other factors also contribute in order for stock to rise. I just got cableTV service to get cable modem internet access. I watched those idiots on CNBC for the first time and boy they have no idea what they are talking about RMBS. I read Joe Osha's research at Merrill Lynch and he has no idea what RMBS technology offers Intel for them to continue to comit to RDRAM for Willimette processors for desktops. What we need is some respected brokerage cheerleader like Battipaglia or Abby Joseph Cohen, who are not regarded as tech savants to say that RMBS is a good investment. All these noted investment gurus will stick to short list like MSFT, INTC and CSCO. What would happen if one of Wall Street Week guests stated that RMBS was a good investment. Nothing has happened to change the story about RMBS making $7-10 in 2002-2003 timeframe. I can't see if RMBS even gets $0.50 out of the majority of computing devices with 64 MB RAM in 2002 how one could not recommend RMBS as a good tech stock investment. The stock is definitely going to cost more later and even if it's pricey now, once gets to use their purchasing power of the stock's price to make more money on other investments. I like playing covered calls to protect one's investment and not have to continually to buy and sell stock on ST basis. john
