Gene,

Re: dailynews.yahoo.com

"If you look at current applications where the front-side bus draws 1GB per second and Rambus can deliver up to 1.6GB per second, there is clearly a limitation, So the front-side bus does not fully exploit the full potential of the Rambus memory."

Which means you would have to be an idiot to pay premium for nothing in return.

"That's where we expect the headroom that's available today that's not being used put to good use"

Oh, excuse me, you are actually buying headroom, that you will never ever put to any use. Actually, as I pointed out in the past, it is not a bad business to be in: selling headroom.

"Can I help you"

"Yes, I need some headroom"

"How much do you need"

"About $300 worth"

"We have a 128 MB RIMM that comes with $100 worth of memory and $300 worth of headroom"

"I'll take one"

"Here you go. That will be $400. Plastic or paper bag?"

"Paper bag. 2 please. I will be wearing one on the way out so that nobody finds out what an idiot I am"

"Come again"

Joe
