From x-bit labs, on the state of the memory industry: The global demand for memory will grow up by only 36% in 2002 and will make 464Petabit (1015). This forecast is based on two suppositions: firstly, the global volume of the new PC sales is expected to rise by only 5% next year to make 129.6 million units, and secondly, the average PC (taking into consideration all the PCs, not only new ones) will have 196MB of memory. The global supply of memory modules will grow by 52% next year taking into account the reduction of production capacities, shift to chips with higher capacity and all the other factors, and will make 535Petabit. Anyone else think 196MB average memory in a PC is about time? (and not bloody likely, IMHO - maybe in '03&#133). -fyo
