The market for ASIC's with embedded DRAM is expected to incease 20 fold in the next 3-4 years!!!

This is a HUGE potential market, and it looks like IBM is running with it. DRAM embedded ASIC will allow applications to SCREAM yet cost less, IBM is using copper technology throughout on their designs, and is making all chips using .18 micron technology.

I want in on this market, any thoughts on other contenders in the DRAM embedded ASIC market? It's gonna be huge.

Regards, JB

P.S. Highly recommened the movie "The Matrix" for any sci-fi, or technology movie nuts, intense!

Could THQ have games already in development that could capitalize on the NET issue?
