unclewest, that is one thing I could not understand in Samsung's announcement, If I understood that article correctly, they were implying some $2.6 billions in shipments of RDRAM in 1999 (and just from them?). That does not make much sense, it is more then 10% of expected total dram shipments, I believe. If they are correct, then $.08/share per quarter is ridiculously low. Can someone clarify this to an "English" challenged farmer? Zeev

memory access is (one of) the keys to the effective use of cpu speed. most pentium chips spend spend 90+% of their time in wait states. IBM has a vested interest in solving the problem. Given where they are, figure 3+ years till anything comes of it. watch and wonder about what computers can actually do ... these suckers are FAST .... don't worry ... be redundant. rr
