Charles, Re Rambus defects.

the comment:
Perhaps more important for consumers, sources say Intel's interim solution also limits Rambus machines to 512MB of memory, half the capacity of conventional systems.

Very few consumer systems go as high as 512M,so that limit will not impinge most people.
There must be some electrical flaw with that third set of traces hanging out there getting bounce back signals etc. Obviously they have not been able to fix this with a termination in that third slot. Possibly an active termination?, but they would have tried that too by now and it will not work. Can they rework the mobos by cutting back the traces to remove the third rambus slot? they may be embedded traces with conductive planes on either side, they may have isolation strips between them?, so that would be a hard and crude fix if possible at all.

There is no joy in Gatewayville, mighty Intel has struck out........there goes Gateway's Q4 as they will be way back of hind tit...near the root of the tail as far as AMD is concerned.

Where will Intel's liability lie here? What burden will they bear of this?, financial as well as blamelaying. Will there be lawsuits...yes there are always lawsuits.
