GV, >Second, I am starting to wonder what it would take for Intel to finally take Rambus out and shoot it. I'm just an indifferent and uninformed third party in this thing, but it seems to me that Rambus has caused Intel much more harm than good.

Cool, succinct way to put it (not that it's Rambus' "fault" at all). After all, it is "only memory." Well, before I get jumped, with all the super fast L1, L2 (and L3 sometimes) cache that can be on die, or very close to on die, what IS the big deal about main memory any more? So you pay a 20, 30 or 40 cycle penalty once in a blue moon.

Rambus must have the 8 1/2" by 11" glossies in a safe somewhere.
