Don:
Rambus licensees go from 5 to 4
Actually the math should be 5 + 1 = 6

NEC and Hitachi are merging their memory divisions only. Their divisions that make logic and microprocessors products are not merging and need existing nonRDRAM licenses for memory controllers aka Hitachi SH microprocessors.
So much slop available to read to discourage you; so little time to correct it.

<<2003:
Rambus contract expires, Intel collects $1 billion in Rambus stock options and promptly sells them. DDR becomes mainstream in the eyes of Intel, and now they release a DDR chipset. Smooth.>>

Possible except for the above - Intel had until this year to meet RDRAM production goals, unless that was extended.

If it was extended, what did Intel give in return?

DDR only has a small time window of usefulness IMO.
2003 is much too late.
