I guess my point is many in the hardware forum think that Intel is the lifeline for RMBS right now..and that Intels original decision to sign on with RMBS is what started them on their road to either force ppl to use RDRAM or else claim royalties on other competing forms of DRAM... and if Intel were to do something like say cancel their agreement with RMBS..many hope that would cause RMBS to completely disappear... its not the most popular company out there in hardware land you know... I dont think it would disappear.. but it sure would take them down a peg (personally.. what i think would cause RmBS to vanish is if they lose their patent suit to any of the 3 companies they're in court with.. if that happens... combined with the fact no one seems to want RDRAM for a system.. you'll see it disappear quite quickly as a company)
