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.

Hello all. I am going to build an x86 Solaris box. Sun only offers it in a 64 bit flavor.

drmach
dr(7d) Devices dr(7d) NAME
dr, drmach, ngdr, ngdrmach - Sun Enterprise 10000 dynamic reconfiguration driver SYNOPSIS
dr drmach ngdr ngdrmach DESCRIPTION
The dynamic reconfiguration (DR) driver consists of a platform-independent driver and a platform-specific module. The DR driver uses stan- dard features of the Solaris operating environment whenever possible to control DR operations and calls the platform specific module as needed. The DR driver creates minor nodes in the file system that serve as attachment points for DR operations. The DR driver provides a pseudo-driver interface to sequence attach and detach operations on system boards using file system entry points referred to as "attachment points." The attachment point form depends on the platform. Sun Enterprise 10000 Server On the Sun Enterprise 10000 server, the DR driver consists of a platform-independent driver (ngdr) and a platform-specific module (ngdr- mach). The domain configuration server (DCS) accepts DR requests from the system services processor (SSP) and uses the libcfgadm(3LIB) interface to initiate the DR operation. After the operation is performed, the results are returned to the SSP. For more information about the DCS on the Sun Enterprise 10000, refer to the dcs(1M) man page and the Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide. The DR driver creates physical attachment points for system board slots that takes the following form: /devices/pseudo/ngdr@0:SBx Where x represents the slot number (0 to 15) for a particular board. The cfgadm_sbd(1M) plugin creates dynamic attachment points that refer to components on system boards, including CPUs, memory, or I/O devices. Refer to the cfgadm_sbd(1M) man page for more details.
