    That dual Xeon is 64bit, as Intel licensed the 64bit extensions from
    AMD for their EM64T architecture. So the Xeon Nocona is still AMD64
    architecture (deep down).

    Architecturally, AMD's original implementation (from chip to mobo) is
    superior compared to the current Xeon Nocona, but that's another
    story.
