John - RE: "The company said it was seeking injunction against Hitachi from manufacturing, using and selling certain memory and microprocessor products in the U.S. that violate Rambus patents. In addition, Rambus said it was seeking punitive damages from the Japanese chip maker." Is this RamBUST's new strategy to make money - sue whomever they can until DRDRAM makes a noticeable presence in the market? ;) Screw royalities, this is where the money is! "Amoung the Hitachi products allegedly violating Rambus' patents are: PC100 SDRAMs, PC133 SDRAMs, double data rate (DDR) SDRAMs, synchronous graphics RAMs (SGRAMs), dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), and four microprocessor product lines--the SH-2, SH-3, SH-4 and SH-5 series." Lets see, the SH-4 is used in the Sega Dreamcast, and that doesn't use DRDRAM. Oops!
