OK, I'd assumed that you'd need some different models to behave like a 
"typical" IPF system.  I guess as long as the common OSes support a decent 
range of hardware (as Linux does) it's not a problem...  Do they all have 
IA-64 drivers for the (comparatively low end) hardware that Bochs / QEmu 
emulates?

Cheers,
Mark
