Ummm... Correction time... On second glance, it seems I overstated the above. Not "all" of the Opteron assets owned by Sun Microsystems were engineered and built in partnership with Sanmina-SCI. Some of the Opteron assets are from companies acquired by Sun and others were internally developed. None the less, all of the Sun branded Opteron gear I've seen is high quality regardless of origin.
