Richard> However, the fact remains that HDTV is here whether you want it or not. I know several people that are looking into HDTV I do like it and have seen it for many years when I lived in Japan, but is it worth the present extreme extra cost NO! Yes many people are looking, but FEW are buying. It's a luxury that many would like but few can justify buying. When you also consider parents are trying to get their kids away from the T.V. is also a factor to consider. HDTV should not be considered a major factor in the Rambus profit equation. PURE HYPE! Maybe in 2-3 years but then, will it even matter. regards don<<<<< Don is that HDTV anything like those new color tv's? My Black and white still works great. Stuart

<<PURE HYPE! Maybe in 2-3 years but then, will it even matter.>> Of course it will matter. RMBS will need to maintain growth to maintain share price. The next big market after they take over PCs will be HDTVs. I am sure there will be other markets that are insignificant today but will mean big revenue down the road. I can not speak for Unclewest but I imagine it is these design wins OUTSIDE of PCs that has more of his interest than what is in front of everyone's nose today. And BTW I like what I see in front of my nose today very much. MU and AMD are going to get creamed. RMTR is a non-player wannabe.
