Dan, Thanks for the interesting commentary. If the folks in charge of SI weren't such big Rambus fans, it would undoubtably make cool post of the day. Scumbria

Hi Dan3; That was a beautifully written and well thought out post. -- Carl P.S. And yes, cool posts re RMBS are probably bullish a bit more often than bearish. If they do include a bear cool post, they usually include a bull reply to it. Jill has made her opinions on the whole subject well known.

Lies, lies and damn lies! "On the contrary, what Rambus did wasn't engineering, it was a swindle. Rambus negotiated with and "supported" a number of companies for 9 years regarding it's RDRAM while submarining a patent application to cover different products those same companies were first developing and later investing in production facilities for. And Rambus was well aware of the design of those "industry standard" products, and the RAM companies were well aware that Rambus knew the details of those designs" Your story is a complete fabrication, i.e., A LIE! JEDEC (1993) was given a copy of the '703 patent which contained a FULL DISCLOSURE of the technical specifications of the 1990 filing. The European patent which also contained those specifications was PUBLISHED in 1992 in Europe. The industry had ample time(4 years) to go around the RAMBUS designs instead it chose to convert them into products that Rambus and not pay Rambus. RAMBUS succeeded in getting RDRAM (1995) onto the market more than a year before the industry introduced 66 Mhz SDRAM in 1996. Not until 1997 was PC-100 SDRAM on the market.
