Re: The compilation of lawsuit reports... Thanks for pulling all of that information together for us. I think I was too harsh in some of my posts regarding this issue, but I found it to be so amazing (filing that suit while being investigated by justice - even after the investigation was lowered to a surviellance level). I wanted to emphasize the fact of the lawsuit. It was the filing of that lawsuit that got me to looking at the datasheets for Rambus and PCXXX, etc. I couldn't understand what Intel could be so upset about. Board and chipset makers have been offering performance enhancements to Intel's reference designs for years without complaints from Intel, particularly in frequency increases for chip, memory, and IDE channels without worrying Intel. It seemed to me that this behavior by Intel could be a very strong signal that Rambus performance was not competitive, or at least not price competitive, with the alternative memory types. I guess we're going to know very soon, it will be great when systems are available to independent testers who can run them through their paces on real applications. regards, Dan
