Down 14%. Shouldn't they be surging with all the support for Opteron:)


Maybe they should be surging..... but I guess Wall Street dicovered that they're currently trying to "borrow" an additional 60 million dollars to keep their company afloat :-)

Maybe Cray needs the extra cash for sales channel incentives
to move Opteron gear like Sun apparently decided it needs:

"Sun begs partners to sell more Opteron servers

If you're part of Sun Microsystems' $80bn customer base, look out. The company today kicked off a new partner program for its Opteron servers that it hopes will see salespeople being more aggressive than ever with x86 kit.

Sun has started the Solaris Edge Elite program for its numerous channel partners. The new scheme offers free Opteron servers to partners that can move certain amounts of gear and free training."

Free Opteron servers? You don't say. The droids are under the
impression this stuff practically sells itself. :-P
