Samsung expects DDR in PCs by next spring By Crista Souza, Electronic Buyers' News Nov 9, 2000 (10:45 PM) URL: ebnews.com Samsung Semiconductor Inc. said it will ship Double Data Rate SDRAM into desktop PCs sooner than expected now that Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has cleared its DDR modules to work with the AMD-760 PC chipset. Five Samsung modules, ranging in density from 64 to 256 Mbytes were validated at the full 266-MHz rate, according to Mueez Deen, director of DRAM marketing for Samsung in San Jose. AMD, Sunnyvale, Calif., also validated 256-Mbyte modules from Infineon and NEC Electroincs, rated for 266- and 200-MHz, respectively. Samsung has already begun shipping the modules into high-end servers, but the PC space was held up awaiting a compatible chipset. "This opens the door for PC OEMs to start incorporating DDR designs into their plans as they go into thespring refresh season," Deen said. DDR is expected to start out in high-end desktop systems, and move into the mainstream. How quickly the migration occurs will be largely a function of price. Currently, Samsung is getting a 30% price premium for DDR devices over single data rate SDRAMs. Deen projected the price separation will narrow to 10% by the end of next year.

Jim roughly 19,000 people voted for both Gore and Pat B. To even suggest that more than half of those people wanted Pat B. Is absolutely CRAZY. That is me talking not the networks.

Jim, 1, The Dems say no way PB County could have 3,000 Buchanon votes, had to be a mistake. truth is: in 1996, Buchanan got 8,000 votes in PB county. Even Pat Buchanan knows that he didn't get those votes. "Al Gore very probably won Florida and therefore won the nation and won the presidency of the United States," Buchanan said. "I don't know, for one, what exactly we ought to do about that." usatoday.com Deal with reality Jim. Scumbria

Jim: It is very clear that Gore won both the popular vote as well as Florida. I see two factors in action in FL. - the primary reason why Bush will win is that Republicans statewide got to be on 1st line of ballot. This is major advantage as we now see. The amount of error by being able to punch 1st hole rather than 3rd hole or was that the 2nd hole lead to about a 20K shortfall in one County alone. To the victors go the spoils. - In FL, they accept a higher level of errors involved with paper ballots in their voting because they feel that if you are too feeble (insert ewhatever appropriate term you wish) to vote incorrectly maybe your vote shouldn't count. This was fine when it was disinfranshied voters before the voting rights act but we now face a situation where 4-5% of intelligent and informed voters misvoted due to whatever physical disabilities due to old age or mental disabilities such as dislexia that were present in Palm Beach County populace. In all my 28 years of voting the the Northeastern states, I have always experienced voting machines, the latest one I voted on looks like a touch pad at McDonalds, that prohibites you from voting for two candidates. john
