Paul -

It won't be long (later this year)before Opteron has surpassed Itanium's combined total volume in 2 generations.

Once again, this has proven much easier to say than to do. So far AMD hasn't shipped a single unit nor demonstrated the ability to do so, but you already have them shipping volume. No wonder we call AMD a faith based system. As for Itanium volume, that is unknown and wide open to interpretation. 64 processor systems are shipping today and larger ones will be shipping later this year.
