RE: "You seem to be asserting that Intel might as well commit suicide if they decide to use a type of memory other than Direct Rambus DRAM. Why do you assert this?" - and - I would like it if you could tell me your reasons for why you think Direct Rambus DRAM will specifically become the dominant memory type for AMD platforms. And why you think it would be a bad move for chipset vendors who support AMD platforms to not create north bridges supporting DRDRAM. Mind you, from my perspective I note that Rambus has claims to both RDRAM and SDRAM IP, so there should be an actual technological reason for why you prefer RDRAM, not a reason along the lines of "because Rambus will make AMD pay; they are an 800 lb gorilla and will rox0r j00". -------------------------------------------------- Hi jcholewa, Excellent questions. Let's see if you get an answer (and I mean a technical answer, not a legal answer). Regards, Amy J
