Even if elements of the RDRAM were present in earlier RAM developments, it is unlikely that all elements of the design were present. If they were all present no one would have bought a license from RAMBUS. The patents could stand by way of combination.

The burden of proof is on the infringees to prove that the inventions existed prior to patenting. Even if the elements did exist there could be lack proper publication of those elements. There is also the problem of reduction to practice which seems to have been non-trivial.
