Assuming similar memory and disk sub-systems, I am considering a Quad

PostgreSQL code is written for 32 bit and not optimized for the 64 bit
Itanium cpu.  That makes me think that the Xeon system would be a
better choice.
   

Postgres runs on many 64-bit systems, including UltraSPARC, MIPS, and
Alpha, plus the Intel and AMD offerings.  What makes you think it's
'not optimized'?

Please help educate me.   That is why I am asking.    :)
