I think, only Itanium and Opteron are 64 bit, isn't it? Pentium 4
is also "just" 32 bit, as far as I know.

The ES7000 server is not one of the Clearpath series; being built
on an array of Intel CPUs (at least up to 32 Itanium CPUs), it runs
either WindowsNt Server or Linux. The Clearpath servers of either the
Univac or Burroughs mainframe tradition incorporate also a subsystem
with Intel-type CPUs, but that is run by WindowsNT or maybe -- I don't
know -- also Linux.

But Unisys does certainly not provide a COBOL compiler neither for
Windows nor for Intel. One would have to use the Microfocus or Fujitsu
compilers. Unisys provides compilers for their OS/2200 and MCP based
mainframe lines.
