This was in the last week or two. I read the same thing, and I can't remember where I read it either. But the country was *Korea*, not Taiwan. I know, this is a trifling difference to some, and perhaps not to others. It seems to me that Korea is already into the DRAM business; Taiwan is about to enter, largely with the help of U.S. investment (e.g., TI to Acer).
