That new news could be that Intel's evaluation of PC133 results in them not supporting it. I think that Intel's announcement that they will evaluate PC133 has been taken by most people as equal to supporting it. So that is "in" the stock. They may decide that they won't support it and that would be a big upper.

kz,
i agree with you all the way on this.
in fact i think if intel chooses to support pc133 the results may be little or nothing.
might even go up. here is why...

it will not be a surprise. rmbs ceo told us 6 months ago to expect a brief single iteration life span for ddr. the surprise will be as you said if it does not happen.

there are presently 5,140,000 shares sold short. they have to cover eventually. this eliminates a huge amount of downside risk. they may be waiting for this announcement to cover..in which case the stampede could easily cause the price to go up.

there is a lot happening right now. siggraph this week. more announcements are likely on top of today's three.
next week is the hotchips conference at stanford. we may hear from sunw there. may also see a k7 with rdram demo.
following that we have the idf in palm springs. aug 31
sep 14-16 networld and interop
sep 17 sony intros pII at the tokyo games show.
sep 28 comdex in miami.
sometime in sept camino gets released.
oct 4 microprocessor forum in san jose.
oct 5-7 comdex in quebec.
nov 15-19 comdex in las vegas.
sometime in here coppermine gets released...at the same time i expect to see rambus in workstations, pc's and laptops and who knows what else.

i believe we will get significant rambus announcements all along the way. with product shipments ramping next month...the analysts will be reiterating their positions.
present analyst price targets for rmbs are $150-165.

and we will get surprises...don't forget surprises! intel and rambus futures are tied to a successful launch of rdram. i think the real fireworks started with three big news releases today.
rambus in graphics and rambus in servers is just more motivation for the dram guys to get going.
intel and rambus are not going to let via go unchallenged..no way.
the fun is just beginning and each new news release takes away a little more from the fudsters.
