Dale,

That could be. It reminds me of what Andy Grove said about the Sub 1000 PC's. "Once the Ginie is out of the bottle, it won't go back in."

That's my point exactly. RDRAM may be expensive for maybe 2 weeks, and then when no-one is willing to pay the premium the prices will come down and thr profit will go out of it. Face it DRAM is in the toilet for a long time...

Steve

Countering widespread speculation that its manufacturers have had difficulty keeping die and module costs under control, Toprani said Direct RDRAM chips will maintain a premium of less than 5% over PC-100 SDRAM devices. "We have active programs under way with leading DRAM companies to reduce the die cost in the second half of 1999"
