"Design their RDRAM and go to a fab, such as TSMC or IBM and fab their DRAM..." And who would make the RIMMs with unbearable trace tolerances, check test coupons for proper resin quality and gap filling, do precise chip soldering to avoid deviations in wave impedance of solder joints, mount heat spreaders with proper thermal joints, do final RIMM assembly, test and characterization, manage procurement and inventory for all this, Uncle Sam? Of course, almost everything is subcontracted today, but somebody must assume responsibility for the final consumable product, with all associated cost and liabilities. It was not the Rambus. My point remains unchanged - Rambus has never had an real option to manufacture anything, so your statement that they had a choice but acted "philantrophically" is nonsense. Regards, - Ali
