Dave_B, <Developing their own technology rather than being a copier of Intel has worked well for ARM. > Maybe one day Intel also will buy a license to manufacture Athlons :) <another company that Rambus can sue for stealing their IP! ;) ;)> You are a sick man. I repeat: Rambus has no intellectual property to protect. All claims in their original application are nonsense, childish bubbling, at least in the original form, when commands and data were going to share the same bus. Apparently after they learn something from JEDEC meetings, it become clear to them that this penguin is not going to fly, so they tried to fix their bussed (busted) idea. If you do not undrstand yet, none of their claims are in use in current RIMM memories (maybe the multiplexor, what an invention!), at least most of the key elements are not claimed in their "patents", - windows crossing and inter-domain synchronization for example. All Rambus patents are about few chips on wires shorter than half-clock flight time, or 4-5" long only. Therefore hope only for PS2 and few video cards, and forget about millions of PCs market. <I didn't say it had to be for Windows, that was your (idiotic?) assumption. > What makes you think the assumption is idiotic? Using a well-known car analogy, are you proposing to enter an automotive business with a car which by design would require a parallel road to build along every road and street in the US and in all other world? I think you admire the iTanic idea too, but there is a difference. - Ali
