jhg, All of the professor's theories aside, we will see the performance of DDR next week.http://www.micron.com/news/2000_releases/04_19_00.htm MICRON TECHNOLOGY TO DEMONSTRATE THREE DDR SDRAM PLATFORMS AT WINHEC 2000 DDR platform achieves industry-leading performance Boise, Idaho, April 19, 2000 - Micron Technology, Inc., today announced that it will demonstrate three internally-developed DDR SDRAM platforms at the WinHEC 2000 Trade Show, which will be held on April 24-26, 2000 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. WinHEC 2000 is a windows hardware engineering conference sponsored by Microsoft Corp., Texas Instruments, AMD, 3Com, Cirrus Logic and Intel. Micron will be exhibiting these platforms in Booth #234 in the Exhibition Hall. Micron will demonstrate a dual processor, single controller platform that has achieved industry-leading scores in multiple independent performance benchmark testing. For example, in a recent performance analysis done by Inquest Market Research, this platform exceeded the performance of other leading-edge systems in a majority of comparisons. Micron will also display a dual processor, dual controller platform demonstrating DDR SDRAM memory in high-performance server and workstation applications, as well as a single processor, single controller platform targeted at desktop applications. All three platforms use Micron's Samurai memory controller with a 133MHz front side bus and 266MHz DDR SDRAM main memory. With the DRAM market segmenting and DRAM technology becoming increasingly complex, Micron is focusing on ways to help its customers implement new high-performance DRAM products. "Our Integrated Products Group developed these DDR SDRAM platforms as reference designs that our customers can use in designing DDR systems," said Jeff Mailloux, Micron's Director of DRAM Marketing. "We believe that the strong performance capabilities of DDR SDRAM are showcased in these platforms." Micron Technology, Inc., and its subsidiaries manufacture and market DRAMs, very fast SRAMs, Flash, as well as other semiconductor components, memory modules, 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. Scumbria
