If I'm not mistaken, DDR was already around when Rambus came out.
Intel tried to take the world away from it. As is their pattern.
Yes, you're right about the others. BTX was a last gasp. I didn't
want to take anymore space then I already did. My point was, Intels
mis-steps span all the way back to the beginning. At least since the
P-3.

When you think you own the world, innovation takes a back seat to
milking the cow. That's why America's so great. Even with all the
illegal crap Intel was pulling, AMD stayed the course. Look where
they are today? And, it's just the beginning.

One thing you'll notice about what you wrote, in each of those, Intel
single handedly tried to change the entire world to their "new" world
of the day. Probably only to give AMD a death knell. They should
have learned the propietary lessons from IBM and Apple. Their very
own business partner Gates, succeeded in breaking the propietary
stranglehole IBM had on the PC. But alas, out of touch people learn
from no one. Why are they out of touch? Because they want to be.
Now, IBM has partnerships with AMD and Intel is supplying Apple.

I predict the new IBM/ AMD merger is just the beginning. IBM had no
interest in shelling out the R&D dollars for a fringe company
like Apple and it's what, 4% market share? Just watch these two cook
now.

The world is just one big crazy circle. LOL

BTX was just the latest fiasco, again proving they've never learned
that lesson and probably never will.

ATI better get their butts in gear as well. Nvidia SLI is tops and
probably always will be. Crossfire? Give me a break, they could
have done much better then that, if they were on their game.

Ah, how the mighty fall...
