Well, nothing's certain, and that's for sure. But as others have pointed out, literally billions have been spent on RMBS to date by all the companies that have licensed and tested RDRAM. So it's kind of late in the game to be changing course now. I posted this awhile ago, but I'll say it again. The most likely scenario is for Intel to support a dual standard (SDRAM 133 and RDRAM) on the same board just like they did with EDO and SDRAM. It makes sense for Intel, so they don't isolate their partners and customers. Then eventually (a couple more years down the road) RDRAM will be supported alongside the newest killer memory solution. That's just the way things go. All of this most recent FUD is old news. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW HERE. I know it's not obvious to most, as evidenced by the stock's precipitous drop. But to me it's plain as vanilla: the weak hands are getting shaken out so the big money can buy more. I am considering buying more here, but in truth, I'd have to transfer more out of my mutual funds to do it. Otherwise, I would have done it already. Also, I don't want to get into the margin game with Y2K looming so near. Anyway, good luck to you!
