It is increasingly important to pick preferred parts for Static RAMs 
in our new designs. 32Kx8 SRAMs are a good example right now. You can 
get a quotation from vendors for $6.15 each for 32Kx8, 25nS. But when 
Mary goes to buy them she pays over $8.00. She is buying from 
distribution because Manufacturer lead times are too long. 
However, if the same part is used in several upcoming games, she can 
spec buy with less risk.

I am asking Components engineering to call out 25nS and 70nS as the 
two preferred parts for 32Kx8 SRAMs. If you keep this in mind, we 
should be in a better pricing position later on.
