Ten, It is fine to adopt marketing bullets, as long as you make intelligent technological choices at the same time. For example- support DRDRAM, but use SDRAM as your mainstream solution. Scumbria

Bill puts conditions on Pentium III sales Capitol Media Services February 9, 1999 PHOENIX - Intel will be permitted to sell computers with its new Pentium III chip in Arizona - but only if it completes a promised software fix under terms of legislation filed yesterday. The proposal by Rep. Steve May, R-Phoenix, allows Intel to put processor serial numbers into its new chips as long as users have the ability to turn its transmission to outsiders on and off. But May's legislation would limit Web site operators' ability to require anyone to disclose that identification number for any purpose other than security. It also would bar them from selling or transferring the information. The legislation is far less onerous for Intel than May's original plan. That would have banned the manufacture and sale of any computer chip with transmittable security numbers in Arizona. It also might avoid a confrontation with the chip maker, which has a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Chandler. Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said he is pleased that May is listening to his company's concerns, but he said it will take more study to determine whether Intel can live with the bill. May's plan leaves unaddressed exactly how the state would be able to enforce its laws on the World Wide Web. ''We'll start the debate and solve a small, small portion of the problem,'' May said. The Pentium III is scheduled to go on sale later this month. azstarnet.com
