Steve,

"Samsung Elec says in strategic tie-up with Intel
SEOUL, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co. , South Korea's largest chip maker, announced on Tuesday a strategic alliance with Intel Corp (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) in the Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) chip business.


Newt Gingrich defined insanity as "trying the same thing over and over again, hoping for different results."

Re: Intel will provide needed facility investments for Samsung Electronics to increase its Rambus DRAM production up to 10 million units a month

I think they were better off with the Micron announcement, since stories like this keep showing up in the press:

That left us with a decision between the T-bird and the Pentium 4. We had our reasons for not using the Pentium 4, and in the end, they were too overpowering to ignore.

First, we aren't big fans of Rambus memory. Numbers aside, it's too expensive, and the name left a bad taste in our mouth.

Second, and probably most important, the initial P4s haven't tested very well for gaming. We might find one later that will blow the T-bird out of the water (especially now that Intel is supporting DDR), but for now the T-bird looks like the best bet.
