Nice long url.

Excerpt:
"These four executives are the first to plead guilty to a charge of fixing prices in what is still a very active and far-reaching investigation into anti-trust violations in the DRam industry," said Scott Hammond, the DOJ's director of criminal enforcement in the anti-trust division. The four executives admitted to participating in meetings with co-conspirators to discuss the prices of DRam, exchange information about sales to PC customers and agree upon prices for DRam chips.

The PC customers affected by the price-fixing activities included Dell, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, IBM and Gateway."
