I wonder if any Opteron node controllers caught on. The fun thing is that by the time Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000 was released for Itanium, AMD had already released the Opteron, but the B1 stepping had plenty of problems which was probably why they didn't release Athlon 64 until the C0 stepping.
