To clarify (since I don't think anyone else has):
IA64 means Itanium. Hot, large, *very* expensive, aimed at servers and
workstations, and taking a *totally* different approach to encoding
programs (and hence software compatibility). There is no IA64 port of
Fedora (apart from the one called "Red Hat Enterprise Linux"...)
Intel has variously called their version of AMD64 "IA32e" and "EM64T".
Hope this helps,
James.
