I would assume that any product that is based on Rambus technolgy would be subject to royalty. If the PCB (RIMM) layout is based on Rambus specs and technology it would be subject to royalty (just like WANG used to take royalty on SIMM modules way back). I'm not sure if the PCB's for RDRAM's are standard or Rambus-specific but think the latter is the case.

I agree with bp that a split would be the best way Rambus can support their stockholders. The management and employees have already gotten sufficient reward for their effort as their shares have increased tremendously in value. The "new" stockholders, such as ourselves, are being controlled and manipulated by MM's due to the very small float and a slit would be the very best remedy.
