Which architectures does Xen support? Xen currently runs only on the x86 architecture, requiring a "P6" or newer processor (that's any Intel or AMD x86 CPU purchased in the last five years). Multiprocessor machines are supported, including basic support for Hyper-Threading (SMT). Support for x86/64 is available since Xen 3.0. In addition a port to the IA64 architecture is approaching completion. We hope to add other architectures such as PPC and ARM in due course. You should check with the Xen people to see what they think.
