Re: Under the licensing agreement, the royalty rates for DDR SDRAM and the controllers which directly interface with DDR SDRAM are greater than the RDRAM compatible rates. That statement tells you nothing about the rates (other than the fact that even Rambus recognizes that RDRAM is not as good as DDR). Are the rates 0.02% for RDRAM and 0.05% for DDR? Are they even lower than that? Rambus used to give guidance along the lines of "between 2% and 3%." For all you know the RDRAM license is free to any company that agrees to pay any royalty at all on DDR. Higher than RDRAM would then be any non-zero number. Aren't you at all concerned that Rambus has become much more vague in the percentages it releases? Dan
