Some retail price info: Mushkin currently has 128MB PC100 using MU chips for $189. Once assembly, adder etc and Mushkin's margin are considered MU is lucky to get their $9/64 Mb chip. Prices elsewhere look pretty much the same as last week.
mushkin.com

also, cnet now has DRAM prices so you can see the current range at retail: shopper.com (they also now have CPU prices): [this is a good site for real world comparison shopping for all things computer]

Geez, 60 ns EDO (remember that savior of MU from a year ago?) is now under $1/MB at retail

NOT IN DRAMS, but as companies as a whole. The diversification will allow more "shifitng of money" to cover some short falls. Again the intense pride is an object now that there are facilities in the US.

80 Billion in revenues? For DRAM? I don't think so.<g>

That is the point most of there revenue does not come from DRAM's
which will allow them to to continue to take a loss. Based on
their wafer cost, yields and overhead there cost is probally now lower
than Micron.
