    I'm trying to find out if the M17 is using an Itanium based system. There is software I am looking to purchase which is not compatible with Itanium based systems.

    Itanium's were like supercharged Pentium III Xeons a few years back. Their is word that Intel still has plans for them, but they will only be used in server environments, since they need error checking memory in order to work.

    You dont have to worry about your software not working, no laptop has ever had an itanium, and most likely one never will.
