Hi Carl,

The Monza judge appears to disagree with Judge Payne's Markman ruling.

many of the arguments put forward by Micron are based on the false assumption that the presence of a particular multiplexed bus is essential to the patent and that the reproduction of the same bus is necessary for infringement.

Carl,

Rambus was issued a patent today which seems to cover some fairly fundamental DRAM properties. This will likely be the topic of much discussion in the future:

Method of operating a memory device having write latency

Abstract
A method of operation of a memory device. The memory device including a section of memory having a plurality of memory cells. The method of operation comprises receiving a request for a write operation and sampling a first portion of data after a delay time transpires in response to the request for a write operation. A method of controlling the memory device comprises issuing a request for a write operation to the memory device. The memory device samples data after a number of clock cycles of the external clock signal transpire in response to the request. The method of controlling also comprises issuing a first portion of data to the memory device after the number of clock cycles of the external clock signal transpire.

None of this matters unless the Markman decision is reversed

nematode: yeah, whatever you say, bwana...

PS, re: "..tell that guy that there is no way that the industry is going to use RDRAM as a standard, (as he'd know if he followed my posts on SI, LOL!)"

yeah, we know you as the oracle of Tegucigalpa <snicker>
