zsteve, thanks for the link. I wonder what chances are these analysts could be wrong, again? Remember how estimates for '98 were ratched down several times. Gottfried

headline news: NEC Corp. and Toshiba Corp., Japan's two leading semiconductor makers, will increase production of 128-megabit DRAM microchips from next fall, 6 months earlier than intended, the Nihon Keizai newspaper reported, without citing sources. The two companies decided to increase production because of rising sales of laptop computers that use the high-memory chips and because of falling prices of 64M chips. NEC plans to raise production of the chips to five million a month and Toshiba plans to produce 3 million chips a month from fall 1999. (Nihon Keizai) (6502 JP CN, 6701 JP CN)
