x86 hardware support has been steadily improving over the last couple of
years and the rate of improvement has accelerated in the past year.  I
have only failed to install on one x64 system (and I have done a lot of
installs) and that was an HP DL380.

So the answer is x86 hardware support is being very actively fixed.
