Re:<If they can configure the access time latency with each packet they certainly have "the ability to configure the access time of DRAM."> If they had in mind the ability to configure the access time, there would be no need to send the control information every time. "Control on-fly" is not the same as "configure and don't care anymore". The "invention" 755 is not well thought, apparently. It is stupid to send the same information over and over again. <Not only that a register is required to hold the access time latency setting.> I am not sure what you are saying grammatically, but if you think that a register is implied in the claim 23, you think wrong. The control info may preset some latency counter on fly, and when it counts down and expires, it does not hold original information any more. The requirement of claim 23 to sent the access information every time is a strong evidence that they did not invented a permanent "configuration register" but rather thought of a counter as I described above. <Logic must not be your forte.> I think you are making a fool of yourself here. Please continue, it is very entertaining.
