Dan,

But there is no question that RDRAM design was involved, and that it was the responsibility of Rambus to make that a useable design that could work with other components.

Your hatred of Rambus is blinding you, buddy.

First, Intel designed the chipsets, not Rambus. So it's Intel's responsibility. Second, why would Rambus have any responsibility to make RDRAM signals work with SDRAM chips? Their responsibility (and mission in life) is to make RDRAM signals work with RDRAM chips. If Intel engineers screwed up the conversion of RDRAM to SDRAM signals and back, it was Intel's fault.

Suppose Via decided they want to build a Timna RDRAM to SDRAM chipset? If it didn't work, would that be Rambus's fault? Or the Via chip designers?
