Tony, <any company that relies on patents on the most basic of logic or circuit design techniques...Well, I'm sorry Intel got in so deep with them, have been from day 1 (maybe day 2).> That wasn't what Rambus was originally about. It was originally about having RDRAM dominate the entire industry and collecting royalties on the technology. It was only recently (relative to when Intel signed on with Rambus about five years ago) that Rambus tried collecting royalties on SDRAM and DDR by using "patents on the most basic of logic or circuit design techniques." By that time, Intel had already shifted to its "memory-agnostic" policy. Tenchusatsu
