Micron rolls out faster DDR chips US semiconductor firm Micron said yesterday it has started to sample 150MHz and 166MHz versions of 2MB x 32 double data rate (DDR) memories. The firm said the memories, which uses 0.18 micron process technology, are intended for high bandwidth applications. The parts are intended for graphics and telecoms applications, Micron said, and will be available in volume during the third quarter of this year. The 2MB x 32 DDRs will function at speeds of 183MHz and 200MHz, Micron said, and complement existing products which clock at 143MHz, 150MHz and 166MHz. Micron demonstrated a chipset codenamed Samurai which supports DDR memories at the Intel Developer Forum last month, but, at the time, said that the chipset was unlikely to go into production. Many of Intel's larger PC customers will use DDR memory in servers arriving later this year, including machines using the Foster IA-32 technology. However, Intel is still recommending that PC vendors use Rambus memory for Foster's blood brother, the Willamette platform, although analysts say that there are bound to be DDR chipsets for this microprocessor too. ’ theregister.co.uk

Prices on "no-name" DRAM seem to have jumped 10-20% on Friday. Will this effect MU? Who knows!

...I'm not talking just the VP's. I am happy for them, and know you an be counted as one too. I have a lot of friends there who are rich and getting richer -- but not understanding why. Some do miss the days of new products and all that goes with it; but most are enjoying not going into the fab much and working noraml hours. Agaian god for them. But how many of the operators got a six figure bonus last year, during the down cycle. Can say this about MK. at least the foundation help the low-income and homeless and did not put its money into air shows, having run one of these in the past I can say that MU is not a "community" company. Enough said -- and to get the medicine you have to have the headache -- which you DO NOT WANT; this one you will just have to trust me on.

Nolimitz Where have you been, Appleton is doing the same type of financial pimping that Agee did at MK and Boise Cascade, here are just a few examples Micron Display this was hyped big time, then after it was messed up they rolled it back into MU, but after they very richly compensated those involved Micron Communications, same thing, hyped as using so much Si that Lehi would be needed just to support it, they were rolled back into mother MU after another rich compensation to those involved. MQD Mu dumped hundreds of millions into this venture and then blinked and rolled them back under MU after dilluting the stock by about 1% to do it Rendition, a real winner here, 2 years and still no product but another 1.5% dillution Lehi, fast tracked and then mothballed, now lets see is it or is it not a test facility? Who knows? TI's DRAM operations, a complete disaster here, lets take some old outdated facilities spend a lot of money to upgrade at the top of the cycle to add more capacity to an already over-supplied market. A reliability problem that MU lied about If this is not straight out of the Agee playbook it is as close as it gets. And if you want to dig deeper fust look no further than Steve's Million dollar new office, the micron sponsored air fair where Steve could fly one of his 15 planes all of this when MU was posting loss's of 100's of millions. How does a guy that is supposed to on top of things at MU find the time for Extensive travel and 100's of hours of flight time? The answer is he cannot and is not. As far as all the non executives that have hung tough and can now cash in, all of these people were well compensated while they worked there so lets hype the stock and allow a transfer of wealth from shareholders to employee's, I'm sure all of the MK employee's and shareholders who lost everything due to one mans ego and greed understand and sympathize. When this bubble bursts and it will, then the Statesman will begin to look into the hype and lie's and then we will see how much sympathy there is in the community then. If seeking to disseminate the truth and to alert people to what is going on is perceived by you to be Bitterness, I see it as compassion from someone who has worked with and knows people that were Devastated by Agee and who hopes that it does not happen again.
