I am running on dell's 1850 and 2850 servers. On my part, the only problem I see in it, is that commercial vendors don't support it so in my case, I can't run zend accelerator and pdflib since they are precompiled for IA32 IA32 compat won't help you in this case since these two program are loadable module so you cannot load a ia32 module in a amd64 compiled application even with compatIA32 in the kernel.
