No 256 Mb in between 64Mb and 1 Gb? I've lost track. Tony I believe it depends more upon each chipmaker's strategy. Some are now making a 128Mb chip; others will go directly to 256Mb chips. I've seen one news story indicating that 1 chipmaker will skip the 256Mb generation and go direct to the 1Gb chip. The memory business is moving more rapidly than I can recall; however, I'm not convinced that the demand for 1Gb chips will materialize by 2000 or 2001. But I also once thought that a 16MB PC was all one really needed too. :-) FWIW, Ian.
