PX, Yes, yes, yes, but again you use the operative phrase -- <<and now you can buy 18 gig HDDs for peanuts!>> The game is not about what is best but what is most profitable. As soon as someone says, "It was brutally expensive but I had to have it", I will be pouring money back in. Until then we are talking about profitless demand in the land of the geeks (like you and me). BTW flat panel displays approach an expensive component that is a "must have". I love mine and find myself far more productive because far less eyestrain. Set me back nearly 1k and worth every penny. Yogi

AMD LICENSES DIRECT RAMBUS -- AMD has licensed the Direct Rambus high-bandwidth memory interface for use in forthcoming logic chips. The technology will be the main memory interface for AMD's future PC products. Test chips for the company's initial program are functional at full-speed, 800 MHz operation. "Direct Rambus interface technology provides AMD with a high-performance, mainstream, low-risk solution that adds value across AMD's processor product line," said S. Atiq Raza, AMD executive VP/CTO. AMD: 408 749-3811. Pierre, what's your take on the Rambus advantage and how it will speed new computers next year? Regards, Mark
