What ever happened to the IA-64 chip that HP ported HPUX to? Is Intel still pursuing it? (I believe was RISC rather than x86).

I think your talking about "Itanium" a processor built in partnership with HP to be introduced in their "Integrity" server line.
I beleive that the processor has been recently released.

The Itanic...err...
Itanium is currently in its second version. It is not exactly flying off the shelves.
It's not RISC, but is a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) CPU.
Intel has recently given in, however, to the allure (and likely market success) of AMD's x86-64 approach, and will soon introduce similar affordable 64-bit processors.
