I agree. It is a great incentive to settle. ALSO, Rambus has a strong enough case so that if things did heat up, they could get an injunction against Micron and others to stop production of the infringed upon product. Including DDR, SDRAM, and RDRAM. Who would risk this? It would be foolish. Again Rambus wins....Bears lose.

I agree but people are not simply rational.

Re: the specter of OEM's steering their business to licensed MM's How about the spector of OEM's buying a commodity product that is less expensive from companies that were smart enough to avoid increasing their costs with payments for bogus patents? The OEM's aren't going to know or care which chips are from rambus blackmail victims, they are going to buy the ones that are less expensive. Another reason why no company currently competitive in the DRAM market is agreeing to rambus's nonsense - they want to stay competitive in the memory business. Dan
