Especially the Micron part....

<<Micron Technology Inc.
8000 S. Federal Way
P.O. Box 6
Boise, Idaho 83707
(208) 368-4400
www.micron.com

Developments
Much of Micron's attention this past year was involved with integrating Texas Instruments'
memory division into its own business. Late in 1998, Micron acquired TI's memory business,
including TI's wholly owned fabs in Avezzano, Italy, and Richardson, Texas; its
joint-venture interests in Japan and Singapore; and an assembly and test
operation in Singapore.

The company said it's also continuing its process-technology improvements,
advancing to an 0.18-micron process and doing R&D to move to 0.15 micron.

Micron also introduced a number of DDR SDRAM products in the last year, including
2.5-V, 100- and 133-MHz, 128-Mbit devices, and a 2.5-V, 133-MHz, 64-Mbit product. The
company said it also started sampling 356- and 400-MHz, 128- and 144-Mbit RDRAM components
and 64-, 96-, and 128-Mbyte Rambus in-line memory modules.

Plans
In the coming year, Micron said it will continue to look for ways to reduce costs
to stay competitive. The company will move its product line to concentrate on
128-Mbit DDR and Rambus DRAMs.>>

Gene... >>Now they will have support for DDR?<<

And RAMBUS DRAMS once they concede to RAMBUS. They will then be able to work all the companies and markets with an attitude of... "let the best technology win" while making money right along and with no fear of lawsuits. Once the VIA + RAMBUS agreement comes (assuming it will) watch the stock of VIA in Asia, not to mention RAMBUS going to the moon. VIA's shareholders are not to happy at this time, from what I have been reading. Shareholder pressure is building for VIA BOD to do something. Obviously the Intel deal was a step. RAMBUS will be the icing on the cake. AMD will not be in the happy camp. .

It will be real interesting if DDR pentium platforms hit the market this year without beta testing. Just look at the trouble AMD is in with its T-bird at 1 GHZ. By the way the Classic Athlon works fine at 1 GHZ.

There are no beta units of T-bird DDR machines to be found anywhere and there are even fewer Pentium III DDR beta units. I am looking forward to this epoch making release!

It makes me wonder what you are smoking Gene....
