Jim, It is kind of difficult to mix DRAM with other circuits on the same die. It is difficult to build CMOS circuitry in a DRAM process. However, you can build DRAM in a standard CMOS process. There is little preventing people from adding DRAM to a high performance CMOS chip. I expect to see lots of those types of designs within a year or two. I believe that Sony PS2 has this already. maybe you're right and the embedded processor will replace the PC or maybe you are right about the embedded market being more important for DDR than the PC main memory market. This is entirely possible. Set top boxes will soon have high performance graphics, DVD, web browsing, VOIP internet telephone, video conferencing, and other features. And all for less than $200. Once HDTV takes over, it will be hard for PC's to compete. Scumbria
