geez, i read all the posts and got a headache. talk about manipulating the english language! we have had a coupla thread members ask what fud is...now they know. what has changed? imo nothing. what are the charges against rambus drdram? 1. it won't be readily available till 4th quarter. what does readily mean? it will be available in sufficient quantity to meet demand in 3rd quarter and 4th quarter and forward. does sufficient mean readily? maybe when we can buy drdram at wal-mart the writer will consider it to be readily available. 2. it is expensive. oh damn you samsung! just because you have it right doesn't mean you should make a profit. lower those prices!! at the end of this year and into 1st quarter next year, as all of the other drdram mfrs come on line prices will go down. 3. drdram will not be in cheap ibm pc's this year. is this really an indictable offense?? did anyone really expect this? is this news? the real news was intel telling us over the weekend that rambus will be in the entire line of pc's in another year or two. that little tidbit was conveniently pushed aside. the other real news is rambus will be in ibm pc's this year. how they managed to make that a negative eludes me. 4. sdram has a life. this is not news. the ceo of rambus told us in january that he thought sdram would have one more iteration. the transitioning of the entire memory industry to drdram could not occur overnight. i think we have been spammed with electronic news porno. has anyone really read this news??? came out last night...
