I might agree with you if I didn't have experience with netapp's RMA department. We have been shipped replacement motherboards with *mismatched* DRAM simms in them from netapp.
Mistakes do happen. I've gotten motherboards with bad onboard ethernet, slots that didn't work, etc. But by working with Netapp these are put into the corrective feedback loop and prevented from happening again (at least in theory).
But didn't someone _just_ say that the parts you get are tested for reliability... I'm sure that was speculation on the part of the speaker--but I guess this just goes to show you that they are _NOT_ testing their product before shipping it. We've sent numerous motherboards back.
