IA64 is Itanium and your statement is WRONG. Most any CPU you get these days is EMT64 compatible (intel) or AMD64 (amd) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-64 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMT64#Intel_64 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD64 where as Itanium was a true 64 bit chip, it was lousy performance wise (and hot as hell) . The new style chips are 32 bit chips with 64 bit instruction sets.

Remember, pretty much ANY CPU you can get in a server these days is IA64 compatible. It shouldn't be an issue. From: Tom Strader [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 9:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 64 Bit Server Suggestions I've been given some end of year cash to purchase another server. I'd like to get a good 64 bit server for my lab to test Server 2008. Suggestions appreciated. I've got 5K to spend and we have HP's DL's in-house.
