Multiple court rulings since 2000 say you have this reversed, and that is was the memory makers who tried to use a standards setting organization (JEDEC) to capture Rambus intellectual property without paying for it. They conspired to drive RDRAM from the marketplace, then colluded to jack up prices on SDRAM and early DDR. They were convicted in the largest antitrust case ever brought by the US Department of Justice and executives from Samsung, Micron and other companies went to prison while the companies paid almost a billion dollars in fines. If you want to be mad at someone, take a look at all of the tech sites that were on the memory makers payroll to spread anti-Rambus FUD for years. Also consider that it has taken Rambus almost a decade of court battles to finally perhaps find justice, or at least get paid.
