Chips Ahoy --''''> * Toshiba Corp said on Friday it would shift its main production of dynamic random-access memories (DRAMs) to 128-megabit memory chips by December to get a head start on its competitors. The major electronics maker plans to boost its production of 128-megabit DRAMs, which are high-speed chips such as synchronous DRAMs, to nearly 7 mln chips per month from the present 2 mln by December, a Toshiba spokesman said without elaborating on the size of the investment. At the same time, it will reduce output of 64 megabit chips to one million units from six million. Toshiba produces DRAMs at a plant south of Tokyo, at a joint venture with IBM CORP in Virginia and in Taiwan at a plant of Winbond Electronics Corp, its Taiwanese licensee.
