Dan, Re: I found out today that the Opteron launch was slowed down a bit when Intel's threats coerced Solectron into dropping their Opteron board, which has left a couple of OEMs scrambling to find alternate sources for motherboards.

Is this second hand info, or did you read it from a news source. I would be interested in reading more about Solectron's sudden disinterest in Opteron development. Maybe Opteron isn't looking so promising anymore?

Dan3, you made this news widespread, hmm.. I only wonder where you got it:

This time around, the poster on Investors Hub alleges that "Intel's threats coerced Solectron into dropping their Opteron board." Interesting stuff, if true.
