Unix flavors that run on x86, x86_64 bit processors?

Well I have many systems.. Why is the hardware important, may I ask?
My most used is of coarse my laptop.
A cheaper Compaq Presario CQ56
2gb ram
500gb HDD
Intel Celeron 900
many custom servers, all with different hardware, but all having Intel processors.
all have dual xeons.
a lot of different specs,
Mostly supermicro motherboards,
anywhere from 500GB to 2TB HDD space.
Plus ALL my systems run different OS's mainly..
I have four that run CentOS looking forward to upgrading to either Red Hat Enterprise Linux if I manage to spend that much on them, or ill see how the new AcendOS and GoOSe Enterprise Linux Server distros look when they come out.
I have other boxes that run SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, Mandriva Enterprise Linux, Elastix, OpenBSD, FreeNAS, OpenIndiana, Zerowall, pfSense, and Solaris.
looking forward to running others as well...
I just love different systems.
Looking to get an old Sparc server from the now novell acquired Sun Microsystems. They sell for extremely cheap second hand on eBay. So I would like to get a couple of those for a solaris rack. Anyone heard of the new SmartOS from Joyent? Amazing set up.. Amazing! I may just dedicate them to that! But well see.
So I guess you could add that to the list. Sparc processors. But like I said I would want to mainly focus on x86 processors if possible.
@Scrutinizer
Thanks. that's cool to know.
Isn't HP-UX discontinued? I think that was the first Unix system I looked into. I thought they discontinued that in favour of switching their focus to Linux.
I don't have a Itanium processor unfortunately but I think it would be nice to have at least one machine with one IA. I will look into getting on on eBay as well if I manage to find one cheap enough.
So is there any others ??
Thanks for everything so far.

subscription-manager-gui
subscription-manager-gui(8) Subscription Manager subscription-manager-gui(8) NAME
subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager. SYNOPSIS
subscription-manager-gui [--register] DESCRIPTION
subscription-manager-gui opens the local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including registering systems with a subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products. The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x. OPTIONS
--register If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription Manager GUI comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored. REFERENCES
For procedures and tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to the RHEL Subscription Management Guide at <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub- scription_Management_Guide/index.html>.
