An old name, a hated name...

But apparently they've borne their shame of the early oughts and have mostly stuck to pushing technology forward.

The last time I heard about RAMBUS doing anything was when they provided the RAM for the PS3. That was almost 20 years ago (PS3 launched in 2006 if I recall correctly). Apparently they also provided the RAM for the Nintendo 64 (and even the PS2), never knew that. Like most people, my first experience with RAMBUS sh1t was during the Pentium 4 days with RD-RAM (or whatever it was called), and those weird terminator modules (apparently they were called Continuity RIMMs). Back then I built a P4 PC for my college roommate. He should have gone AMD. Everyone tried to convince him. Only after the system was finished did he regret going Intel. Oh well, too late by then.
