richard, Is it TRUE? RAMBUS in XBOX.... That'd be cool! Then we could be game-console-agnostic. I guess we'll have to wait for definite confirmation of another Rambus design win. Dave

This is exactly the kind of little tidbit (x-box win) that a CEO loves to have for the Annual Meeting discussion. Wasn't it Carl who got hold of a Eurpopean PS2 right after kickoff and tore it apart to examine the guts? Maybe we can get him an x-box prototype and he can confirm or put to rest this scurulous rumor. <g>
