SOURCES SAID that Intel has bought a number of Opteron based servers from Appro, and that AMD knows about it.

The 4U four way servers from Appro, a system builder, are part of AMD's validated service programme out of Celestica.

It's these [link=http://www.appro.com/product/server_4144h.asp]servers[/link] that Intel is scrutinising closely.

    Oh hardly... AMD buys intel based servers as well. What's the big deal? It's good to know your competition.

    Exactly, so what. Ford buys cars from every competitor possible, as does GM, Chrysler, Benz, BMW etc etc. It's benchmarked and compared over and over again. Same thing here.

    Pesudonym & Prime are right... I mean, I saw boxes from Dell and ECS sitting in a dumpster @ ASUS when I dropped off my A7N8X this summer...

    They buy the stuff and analyze every detail of it. Then they go and try to make something better.

    However, it's still funny.

    And the reason you didn't steal those boxes from the Dumpster and sell them to unknowing E-Bay suckers for a quick buck is..... :D

    Who would want (presumably) empty ECS/Dell boxes?

    If someone will buy a slightly used deer poop candy dispenser from E-Bay, someone will buy presumably empty ECS/Dell boxes. :D

    I would love to see Intel put some comments under the 'Customer Testimonials' section. :D
