Dave, "I really do not understand what is your major hangup with Rambus. Are you against companies filing patent applications based upon their Research and Development?" If the patent applications are based on THEIR OWN R&D, I have no problem with that. The point you are trying to ignore is that they tried to capitalize on other's R&D, SCI for example, and other public domain ideas. They seem succeeded by wrapping those ideas into All-in-One RamBUS-1, and tried to sell it. Intel, with all their R&D, tried the All-in-One RamBUS for 5 years since 1991, and found the idea non-working. Which means that the patented ideas of Rambus "own R&D" have failed. Rambus had to pedal back to more conventional bus, and called it "Direct RamBUS". To what extent it is the achievement of Rambus, I don't know, I rather attribute the development of Direct Rambus to Intel powerful R&D. I also do not know of any patents that are explicit to the actual DRDRAM. Now, which Research and Development are you referring to?
