Nothing serious or respected runs on x86. Commodity is just that, something you sh*t on and flush.

Too many here want to swim in the septic tank. I would rather build systems I can trust with my life. To date, I have __never__ put one of those on x86. I won't in this or any other lifetime. More importantly I won't bet my life on one either.
