Sorry Blake P, Captn' Rocky: Cypress may be more than happy to supply "clock generators" to the unwary competition; but when it comes to high speed memory for their own designs, they go to the experts. Color that design win "DDR2-ESLITE". I am sure CISCO and CY will need millions of them: ******************** ramtron.com ******************** [Check out that motto: "By Engineers. For Engineers."
