21.   Another advantage is that the memory chips are more likely than tape to survive a crash.

22.   Another percentage point was lost because of increased buying of so-called SRAM memory chips used in its Pentium II microprocessor.

23.   Another major consideration when choosing a digital camera is the cost and size of memory chips.

24.   As companies rely less on central mainframe computers and more on personal computers, chip makers have seen unbridled demand for memory chips.

25.   As for memory chips, many of its chips are used in-house in the personal computers NEC makes, so NEC is less vulnerable to downturns in this market.

26.   As prices for memory chips fell in recent months, Dell slashed prices on its machines and boosted its market share.

27.   As prices for memory chips and other parts fell in recent months, Dell slashed prices on its products and boosted its market share.

28.   As prices for processors, memory chips, disks drives and other components fall, it allows PC makers to introduce more powerful machines that cost less.

29.   At Texas Instruments, he said, low memory chips prices would hurt more than growing digital signal processor demand would help.

30.   At the same time, the cost of components declined, particularly for memory chips, which had been in short supply until recently.
