Rambus - the bumbling company that let billions of dollars worth of SDRAM be produced for six years without them being paid any royalties, thereby missing the bulk of the big SDRAM production years, failing to take advantage of their intellectual property, and blowing their fiduciary duties to their shareholders. [If I were a long term share holder, I'd be pretty pissed at how poorly Rambus took advantage of their SDRAM design efforts.]

GVTucker, You said, "And given that they are no where near coming to terms with the major SDRAM producers..." How do you know the status of negotiations? Do you have a public source or is this privileged information? Just trying to understand the basis for your characterization. Thanks, dmf
