Don, You da man! You said that the attitude would be "Just make it GO AWAY". You were right! From the article you posted... But now the fight has been dropped by both sides, according to Hitachi. "I believe that the early settlement of these lawsuits ensures further growth of Hitachi's semiconductor business," said Tadashi Ishibashi, president and CEO of Hitachi's Semiconductor & Integrated Circuits group. "In addition, Hitachi wishes to re-establish the good business relationship that had existed between the companies since 1992, when the original Hitachi-Rambus license was executed," added Ishibashi. The "president and CEO of Hitachi's Semiconductor & Integrated Circuits group" says that they want to re-establish the good relationship they once had. Doesn't get any better than that. Dave

I suspect Sega may have forced Hitachi's decision to sign. Sega's Dreamcast sales in the US are the only bright spot for them. And they need to get a larger number out before the Sony PS2 arrives in September. Hitachi is a much larger company than Sega but they have a very close relationship. Hitachi has designed the last three processors specifically for Sega and added any features Sega requested. Will Rambus next go after nVidea and the other graphics chip designers for DDR controllers?
