Thanks for the news, sure enough as soon as I buy more this comes out, go figure.

Again, like I have been telling uncle and others time and again, just because someone is a licensee does not mean they fully support the technology. Often times the licenses are taken out as insurance policies in case they need to play. A license fee for IBM is like a dollar to you and I, literally!

Happy Holiday!

RE Nintendo and IBM chip agreement, now you have to wonder if the new N64 chip will utilize RDRAM based upon this news, just thinking out loud...Any thoughts out there?!

Re: IBM to drop Rambus support:

From the folks who bet on OS/2 and EISA...

From the folks who invented the PC and have dropped to 3rd or 4th place in overall market share...

From the folks who lost $1B in the PC business last year...

Another in a long list of bad decisions.

The license is just going to cost them more when all they can get is DRDRAM and they have to come back and re-license it.
