Dan, Micron PCs used to have a certain techie cachet, I don't know if that's really true anymore. Micron PC has lost to mediocrity. I think they also dropped from being maybe one of the top 10 PC companies to almost a second tier. I don;t know if they can revive their brand. Joe

Dan, Re: Micron chipsets? Thanks for the links. I agree Micron is likely too small to support a customer chipset process as a PC company... however, the parent company being in the memory business has already made much (?) of the investment to simply demonstrate DDR memory. How much more would there be? I did like Micron being open to the Via chipsets - PC133 but they seem to have been slow to adapt to the newest alternative: Athlons. At least until now. I bet the potential to support the widespread adoption of DDR adds enough extra incentive beyond the price:performance:availability aspects. -PT
