Joe, <I don't think there is anything specific in the chipset tying it to internal architecture of the CPU. Can you (or Tench) elaborate on what makes present chipsets 32bit specific?>

Nothing really. Intel could have conceivably designed Itanium to support the P6 bus and work with current Xeon chipsets. But of course, the transition to IA-64 provides Intel with the chance to update the old P6 bus into a more robust, higher-bandwidth Itanium bus.
