Well I'll be durned.. apparently ia32e is EM64T(Intel's marketing name for it). I was thinking it was the itanium arch which is actually ia64. But either way... EM64T is supposed to run on AMD64... the only question is will OpenBSD respond accordingly when NXE is present during dmesg. And if so.. it would be nice to change this on the AMD64 page so people are aware of it.
