pricing is up a little bit... 206.160.213.4 the long term view is still tenuous at best...

These "significant price increases" are on trailing edge Fast Page Mode and Extended Data Output DRAM. This is very typical for end-of-life product. Remember, the majority of current bit output is towards Synchronous DRAM. SDRAM is where Micron is the low-cost provider with their .21-micron wafer starts, not FPM and EDO. My old Classic Pentium 166 with a Triton ONE (Intel 430FX) chipset doesn't even run FPM DRAM. It runs EDO. That was HOW MANY generations ago? 430FX -> 430VX -> 430HX -> 430TX -> 440FX -> 440LX -> 440EX -> 440BX. Seven. The memory war is not being waged on 4Mx4 FPM DRAM. It's almost an afterthought.
