Hi Win Smith; Re the Scumbria quote on programmable latency being the most significant patent Rambus has ( #reply-14146381 ). The funny thing is that Scumbria was responding to my statement that programmable latency was the most significant part of Rambus' patents: Bilow, August 1, 2000 ... Re EDRAM and SDRAM patents. I suppose you are thinking of the Rambus situation. The most significant patent (or part of a patent) that Rambus has, IMO, is the one having to do with controllable latency. That's the feature that allows your memory to be set for different latencies just after powerup. ... #reply-14146321 I still think that this is the most significant patent Rambus has. The problem in the US is that Payne restricted the invention to the bus originally claimed, which is obsolete, and not used by any DRAM type. In Italy, on the other hand, the judge restricted the invention to the concept of doing it on a cycle by cycle basis, which is not used by SDRAM. -- Carl
