We're buying new rack-mounted servers -- all manufacturers seem to have forgone AMD/32 entirely. The 
options are 32bit Xeon, 64bit Xeon, and Opteron.

We develop lots of very specialized apps (geoprocessing) that may have issues when migrating to 
64bit, but of course we'll have to do that some day. In the meantime, we may run 32-bit Tao and our 
stuff on an AMD64 server, then dip our toes in 64bit gradually.

Oh, and did I mention that I standardized the company I work for on Tao? Bow before me, for I rock. 
(Nah, you do, actually) ;)
