RE: <The companies with RAM foundries, with their huge capital investments at risk, can't be too happy about paying what will amount to something between a chunk of and all of their profits to rambus which has almost no capital at risk, just gain at the expense of the memory fab companies.

Yes, it is galling and that is part of the reason that most dram companies hate rambus with a passion.

But, business is business and intel is creating a market for drdrams and so almost every dram maker is now a drdram maker. But, also, the high price on drdrams is an opportunity for the dram makers too. So there is, to some degree, a rush on to get some of those high prices.
