RE:"The Micron news is HUGE! Intel has shot themselves in the head by trying to control the market and force Rambus down the industry's throat. With the Samurai chipset paired with Athlon, Micron will help enable the DDR market and control their own destiny" Micron is further into this DDR/Samurai than most think. I read about it at least 4-5 months ago... So they aren't thrilled about RAMBUS' toll road, for sure... Jim

Pravin - RE: "The Micron news is HUGE! Intel has shot themselves in the head by trying to control the market and force Rambus down the industry's throat. With the Samurai chipset paired with Athlon, Micron will help enable the DDR market and control their own destiny." As you said, Micron's complete support of DDR SDRAM guarantees availability of this RAM in the market for time to come. While Intel will be sticking to DRDRAM in desktops, AMD will have the benefit Micron's support, withOUT a $500M investment! This support is another example of Sanders' virtual gorilla theory. Too bad that didn't work on the infrastructure side... Edit - You know, Micron wouldn't support the Athlon family if they weren't sure upcoming Athlons could effectively compete against the competition in the future. Just something to think about...
