Bilow, RE: Since late last year, the chance RDRAM taking over has been zero. But assuming it did, RMBS would be a decent buy at its current price. The memory industry makes $30 billion of memory per year. 1% of that would be $300 million, and double that to include memory controllers, say $0.6 billion per year. RMBS would be quite a bargain at the current price if that were to occur.

RMBS market cap as of the close yesterday was $22,001mm. Making the extreme assumption that RMBS has no expenses and needs to make zero investment in R&D so that the $600mm in revenues flow straight to the bottom line give RMBS after tax revenues of $420mm if you assume a generous 30% tax rate. That gives you a PE in excess of 50. And that is using every single assumption in RMBS' favor.

Hardly 'quite a bargain'.
