At one time, Intel backed RDRAM and expected the memory to proliferate in the PC market. These problems do not affect current chips, such as the 3.06GHz Pentium 4, which has been shipping since November, he said.
HP believes the memory flaw could cause problems in other PC makers' notebooks as well, because some of them could have used the same combination of parts. The replacement programme is not expected to affect HP's financials, he added.
