Kevin - Re: "Intel has no plans to offer 266mhz Pentiums for desktop machines I take it." This is an excellent point. The 0.25 micron Pentium MMX part runs at a very low voltage supply - 1.8 volts and would require modifcation of power supplies and motherboards of existing PCs. Rather that force two transitions on the MB industry, Intel seems intent on winding down the Pentium MMX for Desktops and ramping up the Pentium II/Slot 1 as their main Desktop strategy. So, my guess is that the 0.25 Micron Pentium MMX will be a mobile only device. Paul

Big Year For Flash Memory In the flash memory market, 1998 is shaping up to be a big year for the data storage segment. Although code storage is by far the largest area for flash, accounting for nearly 90 percent of the total flash bits shipped, data applications are growing rapidly. Eli Harari, president and CEO of Sandisk, says digital cameras and other consumer devices will be a major driver behind the expansion of flash memory for data storage applications. "Data storage is where the action is right now," he noted. "Code storage is growing slowly, and the unit growth is mostly tied to PC unit growth." sumnet.com
