Pravin,

Re: DDR-DRAM

I think you are right.

We should see PC 133 memory becoming the standard for the sub 1000 market IMHO as it should have no significant cost disadvantage over PC 100 memory.

And DDR-DRAM should be up by year end to dominate the $1000-2000 market segment. I sure hope AMD can get socket 7 and the chip set folks to support this.

RDRAM may play in the $2000-3000 systems at year end.
But folks are talking about a 2x price premium for 800 Mhz RDRAM over PC-133 memory and I just don't see customers paying those kind of prices for very modest performance advantages.

Regards,

Kash

I stick to my prediction, made at the beginning of the year, that by the end of the year DDR-DRAM will be much more prevalent than Rambus.

It will be 133Mhz SDRAM vs. Rambus for PC main memory this year. DDR isn't in the picture.
