You...

Curiously there are Athlon 64 processors galore for sale at dell.com but, nary an Opteron. Would not the acquired distributor also distribute Opterons?

Me...

That's what I'm thinking. DELL obviously couldn't go directly to AMD and say we want a bunch of Opterons, but we're not going to put them in complete systems. That might lead to some embarrassing questions, so I suspect a more circuitous route was devised that sort of avoided any innuendoes about why DELL would be buying Opteron parts if they really weren't up to DELL's standards and their customers really didn’t want them anyway. I imagine keeping up appearances with INTC also had something to do with it.
