Carl, I am not familiar with Jazio, can you tell us more about it and who is adopting their approach? TIA. As far as SDRAM, DDR and RDRAM, if the industry does not use RMBS' IP to make them and use them, than of course RMBS is "dead, dead, dead", but I see that you post quite a lot of URL relating to upcoming DDR mother boards, INTC is still planning to launch the RDRAM compatible P4. As for whether or not DDR and some important elements of SDRAM were invented by RMBS or someone else, I really do not have the answer, the patents say "Yes", may be the PTO is full of it, my experience with the PTO is that their examiners are quite smart. They have specialists in each sector, and those guys are always in the process of examining a large number of patents in the same field as the one before them at any gien point in time. As a result, they have a much better view of the technology scene than I have, maybe even a better view than RMBS' engineers, since they see before RMBS' engineers see these, what others in the field are trying to do to improve the various chips performances. It is my guess that they understand the field even better than you do, since you have access only to "past innovations", they are the only one with a broad overview of all current innovations in each specific field assigned to them for examination. I have had few "runs" with examiners and learned to "win" with them only when I put myself in their shoes. Those guys are very smart cookies, and rarely let a patent by that should not have been allowed. Zeev

blow, you spew: <<...RDRAM is dead, dead, dead. The body has been pushed off the back of the boat, a cinderblock attached by a chain around both legs. Intel will give lip service, but only until they get a replacement. The patent suits are Rambus' last chance...>> And yet you hang yourself w/ one of your very own BS links (you and Jack are one and the same, aren't you?): "The Rambus memory-bundling program is aimed at pushing the Pentium 4 into the workstation and more price-sensitive, upper-end PC-desktop market. In the latter segment, so-called power users are expected to be among the early Pentium 4 adopters, although Intel is striving to expand beyond this niche market to boost sales volume." Message 14678426 Here's another one of your bilious hairballs, smattered with emesis: <<..It appears that on Sunday night, around 9pm EST, DDR hits the desktop...>> (http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=14668569) Yep, I look forward to seeing all those PC systems roll out tonight at 9PM EST. Should I go stand on the corner and count the UPS trucks making their delivery runs? LOL! Maybe I can ID the trucks since they GLOW IN THE DARK! Trick or treat! ROTFLMAO!! Only 5.5 hours to go...I can't wait! I've got my jack-o-lanterns all carved up and ready to light up! Anybody have a 760 chipset to plug in? <VBG> BP
