pompsander: Rambus is abandoning its claim for SDRAM......I still expect a settlement. It smells right to me. Extremely good deduction. The 3 non licensees are heavily dependent on SDRAM income in ST until DDR solutions become palatible. This also explains Hitachi harping about renegotiating previously signed non-RDRAM contract. Toshiba and Samsung are making healthy profits margins on RDRAM so SDRAM royalty penalty is a nonissue. Since SDRAM will sell for a small fraction of registered DDR for those upcoming Intel servers and at a fraction of the DDR royalty rate, I would expect Rambus will collect at least half of the possible non RDRAM royalities that could only increase to what was orginially predicted as DDR wins some market share away from SDRAM. I swear I heard some people on the thread say that DDR will sell for same price as SDRAM. You see that carl and scumbria; I have no ax to grind about memory choices. john

Re: This is all about managing expectations, outside and inside the courtroom I think you spent too much time watching the OJ trial. In civil litigation, unless your case is crap, the goal is to put together a good case for the Judge and Jury. Telegraphing your strategy through a series of press releases has little effect, good or bad, unless you manage to generate a mistrial. In a murder trial, particularly one involving children or minorities, press releases can be helpful in contaminating the Jury pool and intimidating the Judge by fomenting angry mobs of protestors. I just can't see mobs roaming the streets chanting for or against Rambus. The public behavior of both sides in these cases suggests that neither one is in an overwhelmingly strong position. Dan
