Zeev Hed....units would be the number of memory boards ... In a PC (by todays standards) that may be 1 64meg card or 2 32meg cards, etc. In a server that may have 1-4 gig of memory that would be many units of larger size. One common trend will be to use more memory as more advanced operating systems are deployed and as applications become more robust. In the non-PC market (digital TV's, etc the size and # of units will vary on the needs).

units are memory chips. For example if my machine has 128MB and the chip used is 64Mbit (notice it is bit and 8 bits makes a byte), there will be 16 chips/unit used. If parity is needed, you may need 2-4 more chips. Tim Just my 0.02$

z man re. your question on my earlier post. units are rdram modules. 1 per box. the, earlier this year, estimated rdram production for 1999 was 33 million. the demand was estimated at 160 or 175 million. ever since we learned that, we have had a rash of dram mfrs announcing production increases for 1999. i guess the potential sale of another 140 million bobby pins would get bobby pin makers attention too. ever since intel stated " rambus rdram is the technology for the foreseeable future", a coupla weeks ago, the stock price has been going up. oh yes, rambus gets a royalty on every sale. imagine that!!! unclewest
