Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) will be granted a license this week to produce chipsets and memory controllers using the high-speed Direct RDRAM interface Is this a new license that will be announced this week or simply mean there already has been an announcement and the spec's are being delivered? I am starting to lose track of who has committed recently. This could be more good news this week... MileHigh

Hi Mile, thanks for the many postings. It seems to me that the reporters in question have NO IDEA when and how RDRAM will come. For example here are 2 quotes i selected " But the demand for Rambus DRAM won't be big until Intel's [Pentium III] microprocessor market becomes mature. We probably will have to wait until the year 2001." "But in the second half (99), demand for new systems may slump unless compelling new technology is introduced. Enter Rambus, tripping, stumbling, reeling, perhaps, but coming nonetheless. If enough of the Rambus-enabled systems are on the market by midyear, it could spark a revival for a PC industry desperate for something new to offer its customers." Pick which point of view suits you best!! However, earnings are not going to commence to really flow until calender year 2000 Q1 From Q3 onwards we will achieve YHOO like P/E's, but that goes with all the volatility too. Alan
