I keep doing the math, but it seems too optimistic. Can someone check my calculations or assumptions and correct me:

memory market size = $40B
2001 RDRAM mkt share = 31% (from eet.com
2001 RDRAM sales = $12.4B
Rambus royalty avg = 1.5%
Rambus RDRAM related revenues = $186M
Rambus' current annual revenues from other products = $50M (est.)
Total 2001 Rambus revenues = $236M
Net (aftertax and everything else) Margin % = 50%
Total 2001 Net Income = $118M
Total shares o/s = $25M
2001 EPS = $4.72
current PE = 270
2001 PE assumption = 100
2001 est share price = $472

That's a 547% gain in 2 1/2 year's time! Kick ass. Are my assumptions too optimistic? Because usually I am more conservative than most. So I either am doing something wrong, or Rambus has explosive potential.
