This is a case where I wish the architecture types were renamed to modern d=
ay nomenclature. Most people outside the *nix world know i386 as the x86 ar=
chitecture and AMD64 as either x86-64 or straight x64. IA64 is for Itanium =
architecture only and will not work on any x86 or derrived architecture.
