Steve, one vote to each individual for each dollar paid in taxes the previous year. I've advocated that idea for years as an alternative system. "No representation without taxation" was my slogan. It would also be an effective campaign finance reform.<g> Dave

Samsung expects DDR in PCs by next spring By Crista Souza Electronic Buyers' News (11/10/00, 01:45:37 AM EST) 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. ebnews.com RMBS sucks
