Riechers, your numbers are way off. I believe the SIA said something in the order of 33MM chips will be sold next year. Actually, I need to check that number too. But, if they get 1/2 of 33MM, let's say that's 16MM chips. With 5% surcharge and $250 per DIMM, that's $12.50 per chip x 1/2 x 33MM or $200MM in revenues. However, this is just the beginning as you know. The numbers look very, very good.

> I'll say 10 million PCs will be sold next year. Where did you get that number? Even AMD sold 3.8M chip last QUARTER. Quarterly CPU sale is about 30M so we are looking at an yearly 120M CPU. I would say 64MB/CPU is about right. Hope NT5.0 comes along and every machine will need 256MB RAM. :) Tim 0.02$
