Popular 16 meg devices (i.e. 4Mx4 EDO SOJ) fell to their lowest level since mid-January as sluggish open market demand and growing inventory levels (i.e. multiple manufacturers) forced prices downward. Conversely, CPU pricing (Intel) remains stable with the exception of lower end notebook devices where multiple notebook/laptop manufacturers are reporting sagging sales (i.e. economy line) for the second consecutive quarter resulting in excess inventory.

"To ensure functionality and reliability of the Pentium processor, maximum device junction temperature must remain below 100øC. Considering the power dissipation levels and typical ambient environments of 40øC to 45øC, the Pentium processor's junction temperatures cannot be maintained below 100ø C without additional thermal enhancement to dissipate the heat generated by this level of power consumption."

Steve,
You can have local hot spots reaching that temp. My point
being that if you have a dram cell (transistor with a cap
storage) near by then say good-by to the cap (pop!)
