Petz: "Didn't RAMBUS make noises that they owned all quad-pumped busses' intellectual property?" Paul: I'm not yet certain what Rambus claims to own. As for Intel's Willamette, which will launch with the i850/Tehama chip set, it will use 2 Rambus Channels in parallel. Intel is already a Rambus Licensee. Next question. (Petz): My original question is highly relevant. Obviously, Intel will be paying royalties or license fees for the i850 Tehama chipset. But if Intel comes out with a chipset for Willy that supports DDR, Rambus might decide that both the chipset and Willy itself uses Rambus technology because of the quad-pumped bus. Petz
