I am well aware that AMD64 and IA64 are different, use different instruction sets, and different kernel configurations (AMD and Intel diverged many years ago). Perhaps I mistyped, or perhaps you misunderstood me, but my main points remain the same. It is not cool to pick one part of a person's message and criticize it, while ignoring the remainder of said message. Especially when said message is supporting your points.
