KZNerd: Man, you have got to chill out. Sit down in a quiet room and read a little Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged should get you in the right frame of mind. Boy, that lady knew how to build a society where only the best and brightest survived.

KZ, I'm just trying to understand the logic behind your arguments. It sounds like you're saying now that a company has to offer every choice to its customers only if it's a large company. AMD, being a small company, doesn't have to offer choices. But that still doesn't fly. GM still doesn't have to offer me every possible color of car (or in the Rambus framework, every possible type of paint that could be applied to the outside of my car). United Airlines does not have to fly to every possible destination at any conceivable time I might want to fly. As the saying goes, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If you want to contend that Intel has to offer all these choices, then it's hypocritical to say that AMD does not. And what cosmic law of nature says either one has to put together every possible combination of technologies? SDRAM and DDR are just 2 out of a universe of billions of technologies that Intel does not support. Why are these two so special? Educate me. How does your logic cut this issue so finely that it applies only to Intel and only to SDRAM and DDR? Thanks, Dave

Kz, do you feel like you're pissing in the wind? Who cares why Rambus is here. Invest in the stock and reap the benefits.

kz . a scenario: hi, i'm capt. intel and i have a great big 80,000 giga putz chip set that is able to leap buildings and cures the common cold. the only thing is, if you want this marvel to work up to it's full potential ,you have to use rmbs memory enhancement or the bird won't fly high enough to do any good. now you can use 100 or 133 with this chip set and get so so performance if you want. your call.by the way after 2000 you won't be able to use anything but rmbs with this style chipset but you can buy anybody elses chipset and use that. Thats about where we stand now. if that makes intc a villain, so be it. i call it progress and free enterprise. nobody is twisting arms. rocky
