That dual Xeon is 64bit, as Intel licensed the 64bit extensions from
AMD for their EM64T architecture. So the Xeon Nocona is still AMD64
architecture (deep down).
Architecturally, AMD's original implementation (from chip to mobo) is
superior compared to the current Xeon Nocona, but that's another
story.
