OT RMBS

12:55 ET Rambus (RMBS) 68 +4 1/2: --Update-- Wednesday morning edition of Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun reports that NEC and Toshiba have halted production of Rambus DRAM chips following recent problems with the Intel (INTC) Camino chipset. Nikkei says that NEC will refit its plants to produce SDRAM chips, but Toshiba, while suspending production for PCs, will continue to produce RDRAM for Sony PlayStation 2.

10:53 ET Rambus (RMBS) 70 1/2 +7: After getting crushed recently on news of a problem with the Intel (INTC) Camino chipset, RMBS rebounding sharply today; no news, just one unsubstantiated rumor that the Camino problem has been identified.

Dog,

This implies that the drivers can not drive more than 2 bus slots and maintain critical timing. Capacitive loading will slow down the signals. Sometimes the motherboards have signal skewing due to the geometric layout. Motherboard capacitance can vary by +- 10 % from batch to batch.

So the engineering and manufacturing processes are always important with the high clock speed boards.

It's completely fixable!
