(Reuters) - Memory-chip maker Micron Technology Inc (O:MU) said it would implement a restructuring plan to lower costs by focusing on fewer projects, job cuts and other measures.

The company also reported a 24.8 percent fall in third-quarter net sales, hurt by a drop in prices due to weak demand for personal computers.

Micron's net sales fell to $2.90 billion (2.19 billion pounds) in the quarter ended June 2, from $3.85 billion (2.91 billion pounds) a year earlier.
