But Fred, if that happens then wouldn't they be in the same camp as Lucent, Compaq, Intel and Microsoft?

Fred- I didn't mean funding. Man, if cube needs funding at this point in time, I'll demand a desk audit to determine how they are spending that ~$18mln on R&D. BTW: I think that the "Rareone" deserves a round of acknowledgement from us longs because of hes' recent posts . I now find them very interesting and much deeper in substance, when compared to last summer.I'll add one otherthing he's really riding on a high, cuz he's now predicting Cube's future , six months out. Some balls! Reputation and all.Wowzer! Keep it going Rare, but don't get too high, cuz this baby is going to fly oneday!!! Vintho(looking for a lift)

LG Semicon to Double Output of Rambus DRAM Graphic Chips 12/30/97 The Korea Herald Copyright 1997 The Korea Herald. LG Semicon said yesterday that it will soon double its monthly output of 18-megabit (MB) Rambus dynamic random access memory (RDRAM) chips to meet growing demand. The 18-MB RDRAM chips are used mainly for graphic cards for high-performance computers and workstations. The new chip can carry data at a rate of 700 megabytes a second, about five times faster than synchronous DRAM chips, which are widely used for graphic cards now. LG Semicon began mass producing of the new graphic memory chips in November this year. According to the company, it is receiving a growing number of orders for the new chip, resulting in an increase in production from 200,000 units a month to 500,000 units. That number is expected to double early next year. The new chip is a high value-added product, bringing the company $8.50 per unit, about double the price of ordinary 16-MBDRAM chips. The company said the global demand for RDRAM chips is expected to surge in the years to come with increasing demand from Cirrus Logic and Intel, which have adopted the chip as standard graphic memory. LG expects RDRAM chips to account for more than 50 percent of the global graphic memory market in the year 2000, twice what it represents today. LG said it has already won quality certificates for its chips from 50 major graphic card manufacturers. According to the company, RDRAM chips will also be used for such new devices as digital TVs, DVD players, set - top boxes, game machines and phone switching equipment, items that require real time multimedia processing. With its new 18-MB product, LG has boosted its share of the global RDRAM market to around 30 percent. The company will start mass production of a next-generation 64-MB product in 1998. LG Semicon is also developing a new memory chip, called Direct Rambus DRAM, which has been adopted by Intel as the standard main memory for its advanced microprocessor, Merced. Although Merced will be available in 1999, LG plans to develop and produce Direct Rambus DRAM in 1998 to establish an early lead in the market.
