>Change is not warmly welcomed in any industry, especially when paradigms >are displaced. Give me a break! Current SDRAM designs, which account for 99% of PC ram, would be exactly the same if Rambus had never EXISTED. Rambus is not displacing any paradigms. The only thing they are trying to do is insert themselves into the profit stream! Look up the definition of PARASITE. Rambus is just one company in a long line of sleazy companies that try to create a revenue stream out of "submarine" patents. Almost all of them fail, as a rule. Rambus is not a religious figure that's trying to help along the ram industry. They are just a bunch of guys trying to leach off companies that are actually doing something. I wish you clowns would be honest and just say you don't care what Rambus actually does as long as RMBS stock keeps going up. I'm sure the vast majority of their investors wouldn't mind if Rambus made its income by robbing liquor stores, if it made the stock go up. But don't try and paint Rambus as some kind of saint. They are leeches. Nothing more.

Blake, re: <distortion and half truths> On the Rambus site they make this statement: How Fast are Rambus PCs? To get the most out of your Pentium® III processor and advanced graphics cards and peripherals, you need Rambus memory. Benchmark tests prove that applications run substantially faster on systems with Rambus memory than with PC100 or PC133 SDRAM memory. Now guess how that statement is justified? They provide a link to the new Intel i820 benchmarks. The same ones that have created all the controversy about the performance of RDRAM vs PC133. rambus.com:80/products/products_benchmark_main.html Any comments greatly appreciated. JMHO's <g>
