I suspect so, yes.
In fact, I'm always using ark.intel.com for such types of questions. The
xeon 3440 is described here:
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42928&processor=X3440&spec-codes=SLBLF
so it's a 64bit processor with "instruction set: 64bit" ==> amd64
the itaniums on the other hand have "Instruction set: Itanium 64bit" ==> ia64
Of course, you also can use 32bit only -- or 32bit with a bigmem-Kernel.
