Hi mindmeld; Yes, embedded means no Rambus.

The context got lost here. The original question was whether you can infer that the new Nintendo game system doesn't use Rambus (or any external memory for that matter) based on the fact that "embedded DRAM" appears in the spec blurb. And the answer is "no", the new Nintendo system certainly does have a "main memory" in addition to the embedded DRAM graphics engine. They aren't saying whether they're using Rambus or not, but the "3.2GB/s" is a hint. I bet they are using dual Rambus channels, just like the PlaystationII.
