Scared...

Rambus is no doubt trying to negotiate royalty payments on the DDR memory controllers embedded in the NVDA chipsets.
These controllers use mechanisms patented by Rambus.
RAMBUS already collects royalties from OKI, SAMSUNG, NEC and Hitachi on products which use Sdram, DDR and RDRAM controller logic.

RAMBUS probably does not care whether NVDA uses DDR or RDRAM at this point in time. This is worth about 24 to 30 million per year to RAMBUS in royalties.
