Technology Stocks : Intel Corporation (INTC) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Tony and thread: Will Rambus memory be another incentive to upgrade?

If Rambus is not backward compatible, anyone wanting the benefits will need to buy a new high-end PC. Doesn't this give us reason to believe the next few years will be mighty good to Intel even if the roadmap should indicate a few swerves along the way?

I've been thinking Rambus was dependent on Intel, which is true now. I just saw it differently and (hope I'm right) now believe Rambus will propel Intel. No wonder Intel has heavily invested in RMBS and MU.

I may be the only one on earth that didn't quite get this. If there are massive upgrades for Y2K and then a steady conversion to computers that support RDRAM, the "current" cycle could last for years.

Please, tell me if I'm crazy or if I'm making any sense at all.

Thanks, dmf

Tony....not only the Y2K problem a reason to upgrade, but you now need minimum pentium 200 with these 3-D accelerators, DirectX6.0 etc. etc. just to play the newest video games(i.e.TOMB RAIDER III my favorite)...M
