What is the deal with 3" vs. 2" crystals

Yes, that should be a 50% improvement in output. The question is yields better? Their wafers are made of silicon carbide verses silicon which your Intel processors come from. The silicon wafer industry is in the process of moving production from 8 to 12 inch wafers. The bigger the wafer the more chips/diamonds you can make.
We could only hope that CREE keeps making bigger and bigger wafers.


PS Mshater, what drove you over the edge? :)

I'm a Dilbert programmer, we're all over the edge 'cause of Bill.

PPS OT Did MS do something to make Wordperfect totally destable with Win95, or have I just done a poor job of installing? My WP seems to foul up way to much.

They aren't called the Evil Empire for nothing. Try running Netscape browser on W95 from "the summer of 95" verses the blitskerg version of 96. They have done this with EVERY application they compete in. They know all those secret API calls.

Hi Don,
Yes, margins are greater for larger crystals.

Peace
