I didn't bother checking if the Xeons on the x346 went 64-bit or not, but if they do then they would be EMT64 (IIRC) so an x86_64 perhaps, or something like that, but not IA64. Having said that, and since this is an IA64-related mailing list, an IA64/Itanium box would do well running those things you mentioned :) rick jones
