ia64 is *NOT* what you want.
ia64 is itanium systems (corporate servers mostly)
And even then, Xeons/Opterons are now powerful enough that systems
that we once hosted on Linux/ia64 now are on Linux/amd64.
OpenVMS and certain FP-intensive s/w are now all that really need
ia64, and in the case of OVMS, that's only because Compaq sold all
of DEC's chip "stuff" to Intel, who, after a contractually-agreed
time, stopped enhancing and making Alphas.
