Yes, that is a VERY important point.

System-on-a-chip
New cheap computer technology faces delays

Computer industry executives acknowledged Wednesday that the much vaunted "system-on-a-chip" technology, seen as the next wave of computer development, will take longer to design than expected.

The system-on-a-chip technology is being developed by chipmaker National Semiconducor Corp. (NSM), among others. The technology will combine tasks currently performed by various computer chip processors onto one chip, potentially making it possible to sell personal computers for less than $200.

But while the technology offers promise, "there is no silver bullet to close the productivity gap right now, or in the foreseeable future," said Doug Fairburn, general manager of Cadence's Design Systems' (CDN) embedded software group.

Fairburn spoke at the BancAmerica Robertson Stephens semiconductor conference in San Francisco.

Jennifer Smith, BancAmerica Robertson Stephens analyst, believes the technology is still evolving, and investors will likely have to wait some time to see the benefits.

She recommends investing in companies that are developing services to facilitate the transition, such as LSI Logic Corp. (LSI), and electronic design automation companies and intellectual property companies such as Rambus (RMBS).

I have been researching this company a little bit and have a few questions/comments. According to their Balance Sheet as of June 30, This company has virtually no debt?! Also, 97 mil in current assets! Does anyone know what the Deferred Income is for? Also, do they own patents on their products? If so, when do they expire?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JAF

Well you were right Gary, 53 was a good price. I'm thinking it may move a little higher tomorrow as the general public gets the
new information.
