David,
Well said. The fabrication cost of SDRAM and DRAM are almost
identical, given the die sizes are similiar. The cost differential
comes with the testing of the chips. SDRAM has the added challenge
to meet this PC100 spec, as decreed by the "setter of all PC specs
, OEMs be damned" (Intel). "We can't design a CPU robust enough to
handle all the different chips out there, so you have to design your
part so that it can work in our very limited range."

Intel and Microsoft read from the same book.
"How to give your customers substandard products and make them
feel like they are lucky to get it."

I'm sorry were we talking about Micron?

:-)

Meg

David, the companies I talk to don't make that big a differential, though SDRAM is certainly more complicated and, right now, still more expensive to build. Also, I don't see the consumer paying up for SDRAM. All the cheap boxes I looked at had SDRAM. MB
