?? AMD's Athlon64? And what about Opterons then?

> Intel's IA-64 (EM64T and Itanium)

EM64T is certainly NOT IA-64. It's x86_64.

I tried my best to get it right, but those cryptic abbreviations beat me in the end. Sorry about that.

Let me try to get it right. SLES 9 supports the following architectures:

-- i386
-- ia64 (Intel Itanium)
-- ppc (IBM Power)
-- s390 (IBM s/390)
-- s390x (IBM s/390x, also known as zSeries)
-- x86_64 (AMD64, including Athlon and Opteron, and Intel EM64T)

Once again, apologies for my error.

For those keeping score - the article has been corrected.
Apologies for any confusion.
