Technology Stocks : Rambus (RMBS) - Eagle or Penguin -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Today I loaded the truck with RMBS shares at 61 7/16. I have day traded RMBS successfully in the past; RMBS is a great day trade thanks to its wide daily swings. But today's buy I intend to hold more than a few minutes.

My target $76, although I will ride it until I see a reversal.

Was happy to see some nice blocks go through in the afternoon. Micron earnings will give a boost to semis in the next few trade days.

The motherboards may cost a little more than before. But getting 28 ohm impedance is quite achievable. They may need more layers.

It's easy enough (these days) to get a particular impedance. The challenge is to be able to reliably match the impedance to memory modules from different vendors and for the slight variations in the connectors. This is usually done by allowing some wiggle room in the specification. Rambus has less wiggle room than other memory solutions. The memory controller contains an adaptive algorythm to slightly adjust impedance and voltage levels to match the connected memory. It is my guess that Intel is broadening the wiggle room adaption to allow a wider range of memory modules to work correctly.
It shouldn't be long now but it does take more time to respin silicon and test than it does to change software.

Hi Alan,

I will go along with most of your arguments, but adding an additional layer to the MB will help solve the problem but will be very expensive.
ECL is as you say been around for yonks, but it is a low speed technology, and therefor the low s/n ratio does not usually lead to BER's
