Re: "It was rather interesting to see the RmbS thread after he said that... some called him unprofessional.. others like our friend Estephan said it didnt matter whether Intel hated RMBS's behaviour or terms of agreement or not..they control the destiny of the company and in essence they were the new 800 pound gorilla.. quite frankly.. if RmbS tried to bully or take on Intel.. I and a whole mess of others would probably cheer for Intel. they helped spawn this trouble.. I think Intel ironically, could help end it, if they decided enough was enough" I'm not sure what your point is, but in my view, RMBS may have a legitimate right to those patents and all that goes with them. My beef is with Intel's incredibly stupid decision, not the one to select RamBus as their memory architecture, but for their failure to have a fallback strategy should RamBus fail to workout. You just don't do something like that. Dedicate your future to an unproven technology with no "plan B". Intel might claim that they did have a backup plan. It was the MTH. Enough said.... EP
