here is something i found at yahoo Quoted and translated from ctech.com.tw 03/24"RDRAM future is brilliant. Taiwan's semiconductor makers are warming up for Rambus products" With the PS2 debut in Japan and increasing demand of PC RDRAM, RMBS stock price got boosted in these days. Taiwan's PC makers are well prepared to mass produce Rambus products at any time. The production trigger will lie in the signal of strong demand. With the heating of Rambus market, it is worth to notice whether Rambus will bring another wave of business opportunity for Taiwan's PC industry. Rambus is becoming the star of future product with Intel's full support. Sony is also using RDRAM in PlayStation2. Merry Lynch predicts the shipping volume of PS2 will reach 100 million units. When its future is booming, Rambus Corp. visited DRAM manufactures Winbond and Mosel and other PCB makers this month to survey current manufacturing situation. Although the RDRAM cost is still high, profit is also high. This is why nobody can ignore its future potential and always keep close eyes on the market development.

John, That brings to mind another law suit which had major implications on the founding company. Do people remember the invention of the SIMM module. I happened to be working at Wang when they invented it, mainly for their own use. It soon caught on had all the major manufacturers started producing them, some without the rights. The major overseas suppliers started flooding the market, the prices started dropping, and Wang finally sued. The end result was a stop shipment by the Hitachi's, Toshiba's, etc. into the US and a large settlement for Wang. Not to mention a price hike and large revenue increase. Later on these companies came out with varied versions (3 chip instead of 9 or 8 ship) and the market became widespread. Wang did very well during that time, as a note. Regards Barry
