Here's an interesing tidbit I don't remember seeing... Agilent Technologies Ships Industry-First 32-Site Gigabit Data Rate Memory Production Test System -- Purchased by Samsung. Business Wire, March 9, 2000 p0210 Full Text Business Editors/High-Tech Writers PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2000 Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced that Samsung has purchased and taken delivery of an Agilent 95000 High-Speed Memory (HSM) Series for production testing of 32 high-speed memory devices simultaneously on a single test head. This marks the first time the high-speed memory system, announced at the International Test Conference in September 1999, has been shipped. Samsung has multiple 16-site Agilent 95000 HSM test systems in production testing of high speed memories, including RDRAMs, and has now added the new 32-site system for additional capacity. The new system can test up to 32 Rambus(R) DRAMs, synchronous DRAMS, or DDR SDRAMs on a single test head. The 32-site Agilent 95000 lowers the cost of test for testing high speed memories such as RDRAMs compared to other test systems shipping today. The faster "read/write" times of the Rambus DRAM reduce test times so dramatically that it is less expensive to test 800 megabit-per-second data rate RDRAM on the Agilent 95000 than to test PC 133 Synchronous DRAM on lower-speed, lower price-per-site ATE testers. "Agilent has been instrumental in the development, characterization and production test of Rambus DRAMS," said John Scruggs, senior vice president and general manager of Agilent's Automated Test Group. "We are particularly proud that Samsung, the largest memory manufacturer worldwide for the past several years, has chosen to work with us to test their leading edge memory products."
