Kai-Uwe, I wouldn't be too concerned about CPQ/Tandem playing catchup with NT. I maintained an 8 processor Tandem CLX (now upgraded to an Himalya) system for a number of years. Tandems Transaction monitoring, and other fail-safe systems are without equal. They were already transitioning from their Guardian operating sytem to Unix and NT, before CPQ bought them out. With CPQ to keep their heads (management) straight, we are looking at a dynamite combination. (My own opinion) What are your thoughts on starting a "Compaq Company - News Only" thread ? I regularly get CPQ and MNPI news from "MY Yahoo", and would like to share this news. Example biz.yahoo.com Regards, MM

Kai - Paydirt? COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 1997--US semiconductor maker, Ramtron International Corporation (NASDAQ:RMTR), announced today an initial $650K order for its 4-megabyte (MB) enhanced dynamic random access memory (EDRAM(R)) modules, from a leading US-based supplier of networks and communications systems. The EDRAM modules, developed and marketed by its wholly owned subsidiary, Enhanced Memory Systems, Inc. (Enhanced), are being used for voice processing in a high-end voice messaging system targeted at Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOC). Initial EDRAM module production shipments began in November. The 4MB EDRAM memory modules provide competitive performance at lower cost and power than equivalent SRAM modules. EDRAM is popular in communications and digital signal processing (DSP) systems that require a combination of SRAM performance and low production costs. In addition, the fast latency of EDRAM is desirable for communications switching, DSP, disk caching and embedded computer systems applications. "Our 4-megabit EDRAM continues to be a cost effective alternative to SRAM," said Craig Rhodine, Enhanced's vice president and general manager. "This order underscores our belief in the growth opportunity for EDRAM in communications systems applications." Ramtron/Enhanced Memory Systems, Inc. Enhanced Memory Systems develops and markets the EDRAM(R) and ESDRAM, high performance specialty memories that combine fast DRAM and SRAM on one chip (patents pending). Enhanced is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramtron International Corporation (NASDAQ:RMTR). For additional information regarding Ramtron and the EDRAM and ESDRAM products, contact: Communications Department, Enhanced Memory Systems, 1850 Ramtron Drive, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80921, USA.
