We will take our first question from Christian Schwab with Craig-Hallum Capital Group.
Christian Schwab - Craig-Hallum Capital Group
Great, thanks guys. On the NetChip, was that business up or down sequentially in December?
Art Whipple
We haven’t been breaking that out for sometime. It's been about 15% of our legacy business through the year, and it's still in that range.
Christian Schwab - Craig-Hallum Capital Group
Okay. And the accounts receivable is jumping up, should we assume that meant the quarter was very back-end loaded?
Art Whipple
No, you shouldn’t. You should assume that my collection person is really annoyed because the 1.7 she expected on the 31st, arrived on the 2nd, and it was pure timing.
Christian Schwab - Craig-Hallum Capital Group
Okay. So that improves in March?
Art Whipple
Yeah, and then we have no non-linearity's in the quarter at all. Very level.
Christian Schwab - Craig-Hallum Capital Group
Perfect. And then we talked about extending the lead in PCI Express in Generation 2, and others in the hard data out there, but what do you believe you estimate your market share to be of PCI Express?
Mike Salameh
Yes, 60% to 70%. And Christian, it's been that way since we started in 2004, and we've had competitors, some come in, some go out, and we've maintained that share, and we think that's going to continue looking at our design rates.
Christian Schwab - Craig-Hallum Capital Group
Perfect. And then, when you look at PCI Express by end market. Can you just give us a back of the envelope calculation, storage, communication, etc., what that mix is?
Mike Salameh
Right, this will be back of the envelope. In our last investor presentation, we had a bar chart that showed this. But I believe in '07 servers were about 50%, maybe a little more storage, about 15 to 20, PC peripheral 10 to 15, and then communication and embedded were small fractions of that. And we think, going forward the server is going to continue to grow because we have server designs in the pipeline and they're to keep adding them, but the fastest growth will be in the near term, it will be PC peripherals like graphics embedded systems and over let's say, nine months to a little beyond that. It's communications and embedded, things like multifunction printers, because we're seeing a lot of design activity there.
