John, RE: "the payments to memory makers can be considered bribery to reduce output of SDRAM, and therefore hurt AMD."

That's one way to look at it. I wonder if another way to look at it could be, investment money for one technology helped support a company which created technology for another competing company. (I'm not implying this is what happened, but rather am showing one of many possible contradictory interpretations in order to make the point that Intel does not bribe.)

Petz, Well, Intel has had such bad press of late with failed chipsets and memory hubs that the memory makers are correct in demanding prepaid Rambus parts.
As for bribes? As Amy says Intel pays no bribes and Suharto accepted no bribes....ask him.
I am not sure at what point AMD will need rambus? Can you imagine the delicious situation where AMD boards work with Rambus and Intel's do not?

Bill
