RE:"If I had to make a total and complete guess, I'd speculate that Rambus and Intel made an agreement to allow Intel to support DDR for the desktop in 2002 (i.e. a year early), but in return, Intel was specifically precluded from giving a license to VIA or Nvidia to make P4 chipsets." Man, if that's true than Rambus still has Intel over a barrel. So Rambus buys another 7 months of time to get an established market for RDRAM. SO what if VIA makes a P4 chipset for DDR? DOes Intel sue them or does Rambus sue Intel if they don't? Jim
