Ya know, I think this is the one subject which unites all Shackers. We all hate Rambus.

If they never would have sued these guys they wouldn't have had their balls handed back to them. Trying to sue for money, they instead get an award put against them for fraudulent behavior. Oh the irony.

Samsung is legally entitled to STOP paying RAMBUS royalties if it is ever proven in any court that any DRAM maker is not required to pay royalties. Its in their royalty contract :)

Wow this seriously backfired on rambus. They spent all their energy suing other companies instead of improving the quality of their product. I had a feeling this was coming, bad karma and all.

And geez Intel just cant catch a break. Hopefully they'll smarten up and add support for DDR and SD ram in their P4's.
