Shiningsilence.com uses a AMD processor (socket 754), so I'd be happy to have have support for it - not that I've noticed any CPU performance issues to date.

Intel's marchitecture for AMD64-compatibles was "EM64T" (apparently "Intel 64," now), shipped under the Xeon/Pentium #/Core brands, so I'm wondering if this means you're actually using Itaniums ("IA-64") in the wild. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em64t#Differences_between_AMD64_and_Intel_64 looks interesting for people like me who (for lack of anything interesting supporting 64-bit mode) haven't been paying attention. “Itanium 64s?”

I can of course test this once it's in a working stage. Would be cool, because most servers out there are either shipped with Opterons or Itanium 64′s (and usually contain more than 4 GB RAM).
