Carl,

Do you think the 840 will launch OK?

Wouldn't you think the 820 and 840 teams would compare notes?

Why would the better team be put on the less profitable project (840 has 1/10 the market of 820)?

RE your answer to my question:

Thanks. Yes, I understand your good engineer/bad engineer scenario and it sounds very plausible, even necessary, to explain these #####-ups. I was thinking that Samsung was such a great memory company, they wouldn't have succumbed. But then, Intel did, so why not them?

Granted Micron didn't commit their computers to Rambus, but they did say they were making a major RDRAM initiative. Could this have been mere lip-service?

I really appreciate your understanding of internal corporate psychology/mechanisms. You tell the story well.
