Xstuckey - Re: " In light of the announcement concerning Micron, is Intel attempting to "corner the market" for SRAM?" Absolutley not ! First, there are plenty of suppliers of high speed SRAMs - NEC, Toshiba, Hitachi, Samsung. Second - Intel is making THEIR OWN HIGH SPEED SRAM chips - for the Xeons - and incorporating SRAM L2 caches on their new processors - Mendocino, Dixon and future processors such as Cascades, Merced, etc. Only Pentium II CPUs use "store-bought" SRAM chips. In essence, Intel is insulating itself from the need to purchase SRAMs from outside vendors, and making their own. This trend in now ACCELERATING within Intel - in many, many new designs - including one very "interesting" CPU design. Paul
